Paul Irolla, Ph.D.

Paul Irolla is the founder and CEO of Meet Lea, the desktop AI assistant (Windows, macOS, Linux) that helps professionals, entrepreneurs, and creators multiply their LinkedIn visibility through highly targeted, strategic, and authentic comments - without increasing posting volume.

With a Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence from Paris-Saclay University, Paul brings 12+ years of experience in AI and machine learning. He also has 7+ years in cybersecurity (mobile security, AI-based malware detection, and 3D application vulnerabilities), with speaking engagements at conferences such as Black Hat Asia and Chaos Communication Congress, plus academic publications.

For more than 4 years, he has focused on organic LinkedIn growth: analyzing thousands of posts and viral patterns, building AI tools for personal branding (ViralGPT, LinkedIn Profile Coach, and then Meet Lea), and supporting SMBs and solo founders with practical B2B visibility strategies based on smart interactions rather than volume.

Convinced that AI should amplify humans instead of replacing them, Paul created Meet Lea to solve his own challenge: getting meaningful reach on LinkedIn without spending hours every day. On the Meet Lea blog, he shares 2026 LinkedIn algorithm analyses, high-performing comment templates, real-world feedback, and AI tool comparisons for professional visibility.
