Bio
Saif Sarfani
Phil is an incredible leader. He was my supervisor on the American Express account; we worked together on the 2022 Coalition to Back Black Business Enhancement Grants. Phil gave me the opportunity to run my first-ever satellite media tour, organizing media interviews for our lead spokesperson. Grateful that Phil trusted me to work with our vendor and spokesperson. He provided incredible guidance on this account, from how to secure great earned media coverage to how to effectively manage multiple client stakeholders. Phil certainly has my recommendation; he will go far in his next journey and will make an excellent senior-level advisor in his next role.

Phil is smart, driven, kind, and always a pleasure to work with. I worked with him for many years on ad hoc projects that crossed different departments, and was always confident that he'd get whatever the job was done, well and on time. Also, he's just a lot of fun to be around, which makes any project easier.
