Paul Wineman graduated from the University of Washington with a BA in Communications. In 1960 he was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Army. Wineman was assigned to the Office Chief of Information Pentagon Washington D.C. Leaving the U.S. Army in 1965 in order to obtain a Masters Degree from the American University of Beirut, Wineman returned to Teheran Iran in June of the year to become the General Manager of Television of Iran. In 1969, Paul Wineman was hired by the AVCO Corporation of the United States as Resident Representative for the AVCO International Services Division. In this capacity Wineman was responsible for the initial marketing success of AVCO. In 1973 Wineman became the Regional Director for United Aircraft International (later to become United Technologies Corporation) and remained in that position until the end of 1976.
Returning to Los Angeles in early 1977, Wineman formed his own company to specifically consult in American Defense & Aerospace corporations on how to successfully market and win sales internationally. Since that year Winemen has been a business and negotiations consultant for such giant corporations as AT&T, Litton, the United States Government, Boeing, Systems Development Corporation, Motorola, Vinnell, SAI, United Technologies, AVCO, E-Systems, American Telecommunications Corporation, and other aerospace and defense-related corporations. He spends the majority of his time traveling both domestically and internationally and helping his clients successfully market, contract, and negotiate new business.
Wineman has just completed a guidebook on negotiating in the consumer marketplace entitled: How to Pick the Gold Out of Their Teeth...While They Are Still Smiling (for Buyers) and How to Pick the Gold Out of Their Teeth...Even As They Come Back for More (for Sellers).
