Phil’s previous roles include division-wide Transformation Director at the Centrica Group, CIO of OneTel and Global CIO at the ntl Group.
Phil’s core strengths lie in transforming IT functions, in his own words: ‘If someone tells me a team can’t be changed for the better, I’m the first to rise to the challenge and prove it can be done. Whilst transformation is about vision and strategy, I believe the key to effective change is people - and my passion is to engage, motivate and lead the team so together we develop a culture of success and deliver transformation.”
Alongside his work commitments, Phil is a regular public speaker on a range of topics from leadership to IT delivery. He is also a trustee of Bar ‘N’ Bus an outreach charity working with young people in South East Essex.
