Paul Hutchinson: Fund Manager Turned Child Trafficking Activist

Leadership BITES

Ten years ago, Paul Hutchinson was living a life that most people only dream of. As a successful multi-billion dollar fund manager, he had everything that money could buy. But everything changed when he was introduced to the horrific world of child trafficking.

Human trafficking is the second-largest criminal enterprise globally, and it is estimated that over 40 million people are trapped in modern-day slavery. It is a crime that knows no boundaries and affects people from all walks of life. But for Hutchinson, it became personal when he was recruited for his first undercover rescue mission in Colombia, one of Latin America's largest economies.
During that mission, Hutchinson played a part in rescuing over 120 children from the clutches of traffickers. The experience was life-changing for him, and it made him realize that he had to do something to help these innocent victims. Seeing a scared 11-year-old girl with tear-stained cheeks standing in front of him was a turning point for him. He knew that he had to dedicate his life to the eradication of human trafficking and rescuing as many children as he could.
Since that first mission, Hutchinson has taken part in over 70 undercover operations, working with government agencies posing as a wealthy paedophile in order to infiltrate gangs. His efforts have helped rescue countless children from the clutches of traffickers, and his work has been an inspiration to many.
Hutchinson's dedication to the cause is even more remarkable when you consider that he had no prior experience in this field. Before his involvement in child trafficking, he co-founded Bridge Investment Group, a large real estate investment firm based in Salt Lake City. But after exiting this business, he went on to help fund efforts to identify, rescue, rehabilitate, and organize adoptions of children who have been trafficked.
For Hutchinson, protecting the truly innocent is something that every person from every political view, every religion, and every race can get behind. "Every human on the planet can come together to save children from something this horrible," he says. His work is a testament to the fact that we can make a difference, no matter how small our efforts may seem.
Hutchinson's story is a reminder that we can all do our part to make the world a better place. It is never too late to get involved and make a difference. With dedication and perseverance, we can all be heroes in our own right. As Hutchinson puts it, "We have the power to make a difference, and we have a moral obligation to do so".
