About Philip

Serial founder, Non-Executive Director, Board Advisor, Investor, and Chairman with an incredible track record for driving shareholder value in a business through dramatically scaling, monetising, and securing high value exits.

I am an experienced commercially orientated business leader, where my primary focus as an operator has been to build technology enabled managed service and SaaS businesses within the Internet of Things, Energy Management and Health & Wellness sectors.

Expert in all stages of the business life cycle, including start up, scale up, operating in a PE / VC environment, M&A, MBO's, and delivering successful trade exits in the Energy & Utilities & Telecommunications sector.

Excel when engaging with a business who have a board with an entrepreneurial mindset, have successfully commercialised an idea, and have a deep desire to accelerate growth and exit.

Having scaled a number of innovative businesses and secured 2 successful exits I am now looking to engage with likeminded entrepreneurs with a passion for growth, scaling or if an exit is on the agenda.

Key skills include:

• Energy tech, telco-tech, and healthcare & wellness tech focus
• Business scaling
• Board leadership
• NED and Chair profile
• Success mindset
• Exit planning and focus
• Well networked
• Entrepreneurial
• Route to marked
• Sales & business development

Experience operating in Europe, North America, Asia, and UAE.

Philip has guided and grown Arkessa to exit, his role as the Chief Commercial Officer was critical to the success of the Tech focused Cambridge business. This company was guided from 10 people to the global organisation it is today. Scale Up, International Expansion and Strategy are at the forefront of Phil's mindset. I can HIGHLY recommend Philip for all organisations from StartUp point to Medium sized as a Non Executive Director.
