About Michael Phillip

With experience working with a wide range of organizations - from non-profits to start-ups, to Fortune 100 companies - I\'ve developed a broad base from which to bring creative and integrative thought to finding innovation that is backed by solid analysis and strong execution. I\'ve helped launch new business operations within large companies, and have been with start-ups from inception through successful exits and post-M&A integration.I\'ve also had the good fortune to work with companies across the world in industries as diverse as graphics processors, LTE base station technology and digital publishing and advertising business models. The many cultural backgrounds, and the diversity of technologies, management styles and business models has helped me better appreciate and understand the opportunities and challenges that businesses face in 2019 and beyond.
