Bio
Richard J. Thorpe
Phil is a truly unique and inspirational individual. For almost a decade I have wholeheartedly believed that he was always, ‘the smartest guy in the room’. What makes Phil remarkable is a humbling, disarming and charming demeanour whilst being able to leverage his extensive knowledge and experience to serve and better his colleagues and customers... educating, guiding and facilitating complex transformational projects with ease and grace. I would forever welcome any opportunity to work with Phil again in the future
Ben Gannon
Phil's ability to combine vast technical knowledge and experience with commercial and emotional intelligence is a very rare trait. He's also a pleasure to work with and during my time managing the Phoenix and PowerOn relationship, he would consistently go above and beyond to make sure that both Phoenix and the customer had the best possible experience. I'd highly recommend working with Phil to anyone.
