Colleagues describe him as "Philip is about creating strong teams through collaboration and action. He is amazing in his ability to make the complex simple, thinking strategically and to translate business and consumer insights for his team to take action. I’ve experienced this frequently as a consultant with Philip and his teams at Whirlpool and recently at Masco. Philip is a collaborator when it comes to people. He empowers each one of them to take responsibility for their work and always guide them toward excellence without loosing sight of realities, such as deadlines for the business. Philip comes with a strong foundation grounded in the design process and principles, which guides him on many types of work ranging from consumer centric-design to brand strategy.", "I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Philip for over 12 years and have witnessed first-hand his effective leadership of multi-disciplined design teams. He fosters a true sense of collaboration by encouraging every member to feel invested and accountable, leading to unified teams and successful projects – on time and within budget. Philip’s global experience includes leading teams ranging from small groups working on relatively “simple” challenges to much larger virtually-connected teams solving more complex problems. It is rare to see a great designer and a great manager in one! He has driven innovative change at every level – product, platform and corporate – based on his strong belief that good design is good business. From a strategy perspective his great value is in his ability to identify complex problems, break them down into manageable parts and come up with innovative solutions. I highly recommend Philip and hope to have the chance to work with him again in the future.", and "Philip is an outstanding design leader who sees the strategic big picture while at the same time able to mobilize his team to get things done. Philip led multiple initiatives whilst building a world class design studio to conceive and deliver design strategy and specifications across a huge array of products for the Kichenaid brand. Philip was able to connect with and influence leaders across disciplines to position Design as a valued partner. He knows the business side but never loses sight of the power of design to create memorable product experiences. Philip brings a wealth of experience and a smart approach to product development, design and department leadership. I would value working with him again in the future."
