Under his leadership, CVC has turned into the largest tour operator in Latin America. Late in 2009, a global private equity firm Carlyle group bought a 63.6% stake in the company for $420 million. Aside from CVC, Paulus set up GJP Hotels and Resorts, which oversees more than 15 hotels and resorts in Brazil, as well as is bidding to build and maintain hotels near airports in Brazil.
