Paul Keable, Chief Strategy Office of Ashley Madison

Paul Keable is the Chief Strategy Officer at Ashley Madison, the world’s leading married dating platform with over 85 million members worldwide. Since joining the company in 2013, Paul has become one of the most recognized voices in conversations about monogamy, non-monogamy, adultery, and how technology shapes intimacy.

In his role, Paul collaborates with academics, media outlets, and communities across the globe to challenge cultural misconceptions about relationships. He has worked with researchers to explore why people pursue affairs, how non-monogamy is evolving, and what the data tells us about modern desires. From studies showing women often leave monogamy earlier than men, to research revealing men seek emotional validation more than physical novelty, Paul brings nuance to topics often oversimplified or stigmatized.

Paul’s insights have been featured in documentaries, global media, and even pop culture references like The Simpsons. He describes his mission as helping people better understand why non-monogamy exists—not to promote a lifestyle, but to spark honest conversations about desire, communication, and relationship diversity.

Despite representing a company often tied to controversy, Paul speaks candidly about how Ashley Madison has shifted from shock-value marketing to building a platform centered on discretion, safety, and choice. He emphasizes that at its core, Ashley Madison isn’t just about affairs—it’s about allowing adults to define relationships on their own terms.

When he’s not speaking on stages, podcasts, or to the press, Paul is navigating his own life as a separated, traditionally monogamous romantic. His career, however, has given him a deep respect for the complexities of love, the resilience of communication, and the diverse ways people find connection.
