Testimonials

"Phil was instrumental in launching Agrigate and played a key role in bringing the platform to life. Phil provides both tremendous leadership and a high level of technical skill that enables him to navigate tricky deliverables and balance many stakeholders gracefully. Phil brings a global perspective and a strong knowledge of best practice in innovation; he is intelligent, considered, and highly respected by those he leads. Not to mention great fun to work with in high pressure environments!" - Emma Parsons, CEO Agrigate

"Phil worked with me at Touchcast in Auckland. He came in to take the reigns of a large Agile project and did an outstanding job. He is super smart, extremely likeable and a great leader with both the team and clients. Phil's straight-up approach was exactly what we needed on the project and he was an integral member of our team. My only regret is not being able to hire him permanently!" - Jacqui Copas - Group Business Director, Colenso BBDO

" Phil and I have worked together on a few occasions and he's been an amazing ally every time. Most recently he worked with me to produce a deeply challenging global activation platform for 70 odd markets. As well as a successful and timely delivery the work went on to win Gold, Silver and Bronze at Cannes in 2013. I would work with Phil any time - he's a very skilled professional and a great guy to have around" - Josh Tenser, Head of Interactive Production at BBH London
