Hello! My name is Conor Phillips. I’m an innovator, creative problem solver, passionate communicator, and aspirant serial-entrepreneur. When I grow up, I want to be just like Sir Richard Branson.Professional stuff…I’m in the process of building a new tech startup called Pathfinder 365. Pathfinder is a digital marketplace, where the needs of small tourism businesses and tourism seeking customers, are at the core of its design. By harnessing the collective benefits of an interactive marketplace, a dynamic suite of features and tools, and an algorithm-free environment, Pathfinder is positioned to become the most influential digital aggregation hub for the micro-tourism community. Pathfinder will enhance the ease of connectivity between tourism businesses and their customers, and over time, will improve the tourism industry’s stability, and enhance the future-proofing of this critical sector.I also own and operate a small vending machine business, Fuel2Go Vending, which I built from the ground up, and is focused on the promotion of healthy, local and sustainable snacks and drinks, as well as service excellence.A tiny window into my world…When I’m not thinking about problems that need solving and businesses that need building, I’m usually biking, petting a stranger’s dog, spending time with family and friends, or tackling a home project of some kind. I garden too. Last year I grew zucchini again, and the bushes were so big I called them The General and its Lieutenants. I begged their pardon before plucking the fruit, lest I offend them, and they retaliated.Fast facts...I’m also a long-time student of Muay Thai Kickboxing and Kali, which is the Filipino art of stick and knife fighting. Our motto is, you might get cut, but at least you won’t get stabbed!! I also thoroughly enjoy kayaking, badminton, and horseback riding. Did you know that the smell of horses is therapeutic?
