Colleagues describe him as "Phil Williams is one of the most versatile and forward leaning clients that I have advised during my career. Providing strategic advisory services to a client who strives to partner with industry is indispensable in this field. Phil is the type of client who does his "homework" and is prepared for each strategic session. He is engaged with his service partners and with his internal team - which provides for a holistic approach to solving his Agency's hardest problems. Phil maintains a perfect balance of challenging the status quo and disrupting with intent and priority - always keep his Agency's core missions at the top of his mind. This is not an easy task when you are striving to make changes with a bottom up approach - even in the midst of slow culture changes - Phil continues to strive for excellence and best effort by all whom he surrounds himself. Lastly - as an advisor - if I could build an internal team of advisors for myself - Phil Williams would be at the top of my list. His candidness, intuition, practical approach, willingness to always learn and humbly serve is immeasurable in this industry. He will always be an asset and indispensable to any organization he joins." and "Phil is one of the best technical leaders I have had the privilege of working with in my career. When I first met him 6 years ago he was an outstanding network design and implementation engineer, with innovative ideas with a clear focus on improving the overall service delivered. I thought he was on the path to being a highly sought network architect, but always looking to grow and challenge himself he took on a new role as the Coast Guard’s network service delivery owner. I have never seen anyone take on a role with more passion than Phil, his desire to turn a group of individuals into a highly collaborative unit was unique. He was able to merge programmatic and technical initiatives to create achievable objectives, that in a short time frame turned a very response fixated service into a proactive and strategically focused one. In the area of leading people and managing service delivery I do not believe Phil has come remotely close to his actual potential, which will be a benefit for all who work with and for him now and in the future."
