About Brian Phillips

Hi, I’m Brian. Thanks for visiting my LinkedIn!I’m originally from Oklahoma and now living in California, driven by a passion for helping build strong leadership teams and supporting meaningful growth across the business world. I started my career in agency recruiting at TEKsystems and later moved into enterprise roles at HP and Google. These experiences helped me develop a deep understanding of how to connect top talent with the right opportunities.Now, as a Senior Executive Recruiter at K1 Investment Management, I focus on identifying and placing leaders across our portfolio of enterprise software companies. I work closely with executive teams to align strategic goals with exceptional talent, supporting growth and innovation in a fast-paced environment.I’m continuously learning how to better connect people to roles that inspire them, positions where they can grow, lead, and make a lasting impact. I value building meaningful, long-term relationships and take pride in helping others achieve both personal and professional success.Outside of work, I’m a proud brother to three siblings, a running enthusiast ‍, and a fan of good coffee. I’m also always up for surfing or skiing when the season’s right. If you’re looking for career advice, have a great California coffee shop to recommend, or just want to connect, feel free to reach out.
