Bio
Ryan Peden
Phillip reported to me, first as Assistant Managing Director of our organisation, and then as Chief International Officer as our organisation expanded abroad. Phillip was instrumental in the development of our educational organisation from a small single-city presence, to an organisation with offices in Europe and the Middle East. He is a dedicated and driven leader, and is one of the most values-driven people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. If I ever had the opportunity to employ Phillip again, I would do so in an instant. I wish him all the best in his future endeavours.

Phillip is brilliant! He is professional, capable and confident. He has the ability to work on his own as well as effectively manage diverse teams and personalities. I think Phill's best quality is his ability to remain calm under pressure, think clearly and find solutions. He is talented and not afraid to pick up new systems and technologies. I think he thrives in an environment that provides him with appropriate training and then autonomy to achieve his/company's goals. I very much enjoyed working with Phill, found him always approachable no matter how stressful the situation and overall a genuine and down to earth person. I highly recommend Phill to any organisation that wants high performers on their team.
