Mayor, Entrepreneur,
Developer of People.

Paul TenHaken served as the 32nd Mayor of Sioux Falls from 2018 to 2026, guiding historic growth while the city earned its highest bond rating and lowest debt per capita in more than a decade. His community initiatives ranged from Sioux 52 Mentoring and the Mayor’s Youth Council to the 100 Workouts, 100 Days challenge and The 437 Project, a statewide run supporting suicide awareness and prevention.

Before public service, Paul founded and successfully exited Click Rain, an award-winning digital marketing agency named to the Inc. 5000 for five consecutive years.

Today, he is a speaker, consultant, executive coach, and leadership advisor. Through The Paul TenHaken Companies, he helps businesses, nonprofits, and governments strengthen leadership, build healthy cultures, and develop high-performing teams.
