Paul Stenhouse is a product executive with an extensive media background. He builds products at the intersection of media, AI, and live events — currently as founder of Kardoe, a product studio, and previously as a product leader at NBCUniversal, ViacomCBS, and FOX.
Paul founded Kardoe, a product studio that builds its own products and works with clients to bring their ideas to life.
The studio products include Quickback, an API engine for building backend services; Live Room, for interactive event sessions and real-time audience discovery; and Supa Tools, a visual editor for styling Supabase Auth emails.
Kardoe's client work spans next-generation AI sports simulation technology — where autonomous agents coordinate in real-time across 3D physical and virtual environments — through to live-event production platforms that use AI agents and automation to manage speaker logistics, session scheduling, and real-time run-of-show coordination at scale.
Paul was Vice President of Enterprise Product Management at NBCUniversal (2021–2024), leading an 18-person team building tools to manage film and TV projects from pitch to play, plus rights, contracts and metadata used to drive the content supply chain. He developed a unified content platform strategy, introduced a product analytics program, and reduced design-to-development cycle time through design system implementation.
At ViacomCBS (2019–2021), he headed product and design for Viacom Streaming's global content system, shipping a CMS that scaled across 300+ streaming sites and apps and helped accelerate the workflows associated with the Paramount+ launch.
At FOX, Paul led digital product for FOX News and FOX Business (2015–2018), delivering a redesign that increased visits and audience. He partnered with editorial to optimize breaking news publishing and delivery. He later ran the shared publishing platform across FOX Sports and 18 local TV stations, migrating millions of pieces of content.
Paul's career began at 14 in New Zealand radio. By 17 he had his own network show on ZM. He worked as a TV news reporter and producer at Television New Zealand's 1News, covering stories including the 2011 Japanese earthquake and producing election night coverage. In 2013 he transitioned to product, leading an award-winning rebuild of TVNZ's digital platforms before moving to New York in 2015.
He holds a Bachelor of Communication Studies in Journalism from Auckland University of Technology and dual US/New Zealand citizenship. He lives with his partner in Brooklyn, New York.
