Paul Liberman is a highly accomplished technology executive and the co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of DraftKings. Working alongside Jason Robins and Matt Kalish at Vistaprint, Liberman provided the absolutely critical engineering expertise required to turn their daily fantasy sports concept into a reality. In 2012, the entire DraftKings platform was famously built and initially operated directly out of Liberman's spare bedroom in Watertown, Massachusetts.
