How Phil is building a better working world

“A better working world depends on effective, sustainable healthcare. But achieving this requires health and life sciences companies to find smarter ways of operating – making the most of constrained budgets, adopting new technology and meeting higher stakeholder expectations. By helping my clients build a strong, resilient financial backbone, I’m supporting the industry to achieve better outcomes and shape the future with confidence.

I’m also committed to giving back to the community and to causes that matter to me. I’m honored to serve on the boards of the Life Science Cares Bay Area, which works to alleviate the impact of poverty in the Bay Area, and the Sudden Arrhythmia Deaths Syndrome (SADS) Foundation which supports patients and families who suffer from SADS. I’m also a member of the Bay Area Advisory Counsel for my alma mater Arizona State University.”
