From 1994 to 2006, Pauli was a member of the Bernese Grand Council for the Parti Radical Romand, the French-speaking FDP. He was a member of the Nidau municipal council from 2006 to 2009.
Together with his wife, Pauli founded a drinks business in the early 1960s. He was one of the pioneers who introduced the American catering concept with drinks vending machines to Switzerland, as the "Bieler Tagblatt" wrote in an obituary. Pauli later also founded an import and distribution company for wine and a real estate company.
As a politician, he campaigned for the construction of a two-lane highway bypass around Biel, among other things.
