“I have never worked with a better CFO, or one that has played such as
an important role in a company’s tremendous success,” said Lisa Hook,
president and CEO, Neustar. “Paul skillfully managed Neustar’s most
important year since the company was founded in 1998, by helping us
complete the right transactions, at the right time, with the right
financial structure. His brilliance enabled Neustar to access credit
markets to fund our acquisitions while clearly communicating our
strategy to our investors.”
In 2011, Neustar delivered strong growth in revenue, earnings and cash
flow. The company did so even as it completed two acquisitions, a $250
million share buyback on an accelerated basis, and its first term loan
for $600 million.
Mr. Lalljie has been with Neustar for more than 12 years. In 2009, he
became CFO, playing an instrumental role in expanding Neustar’s role
from addressing, routing and policy management for the
telecommunications industry into real-time information and analytics for
the Internet, entertainment and marketing industries.
Mr. Lalljie is a passionate advocate for STEM education (Science,
Technology, Education, and Mathematics). In January 2012, he helped
launch My Digital Life, a digital literacy program that teaches
kids about technology and how to use it responsibly in both Virginia and
Kentucky – two states Neustar calls home. He also has been a big
supporter of the company’s employee-driven initiatives, including the
Community Involvement Policy which grants all employees up to eight
hours of paid time off each year for volunteer services in the community.
