About Grant Phillips

I’m far from conventional in my approach to solving problems and growing businesses. As a Global Consumer Goods Executive, I’ve been undaunted by the challenges I’ve faced to reach goals in existing and new markets. I’m an ideal fit for companies that must forgo conventional approaches to grow – and stay competitive.MY GLOBAL EXPERIENCE CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUCCESS AND FAILUREWhat sets me apart from my peers is my global experience growing startup and mid-cap PE businesses. I thrive on the challenge of making the impossible possible and delivering positive impacts to the P&L. I do it by understanding the customer, building product portfolios around their needs, assembling hungry sales teams, and optimizing supply / product availability to achieve consistent, double-digit growth.SMALL TO MID-CAP BUSINESSES MUST MAKE THE RIGHT MOVE, THE FIRST TIMEI know from first-hand experience that early stage, private equity and mid-cap companies don’t have capital or resources to waste. They need to make the right move the first time with no second chances. Expanding into a new market makes the challenge to succeed that much more difficult. That’s where I come in. I dive deep into market data to shape a go-to-market strategy with calculated risk. I look at supply chains, outsourcing and strategic partnering to boost time-to-market product delivery. I build accountable teams well versed in local business customs and cultural nuances.Need to expand globally and show results early? Let’s connect. My “can do” approach can get you there successfully.Email: g••••••••@icloud.com
