SKILLS
ABOUT NEAL PHILLIPS
I’m an architecture leader who sets technology direction and roadmaps for complex organisations, using deep technical foundations to help businesses modernise, scale, and deliver at pace. Across retail, supply chain, and financial services, I’ve built and led architecture teams, shaped enterprise and domain-level strategies, and overseen the delivery of large-scale, multi-system transformations. My background spans hands-on solution delivery through to senior-level direction setting, enabling me to balance pragmatism with long-term architectural integrity. In recent roles, I’ve focused on defining target architectures and multi-year roadmaps, guiding organisations through complex implementations, and advising senior leaders on how technology can reduce cost, improve resilience, and unlock new ways of working. This includes leading enterprise transformation programmes, modernising platforms and operating models, and helping teams take advantage of modern tooling and AI-enabled capabilities. I’m at my best in Director-style roles where I can combine architectural leadership with influence — setting direction, shaping investment decisions, and building high-performing teams to execute against a clear vision.
