Dynamic. Engaging. Energetic.

Going back to my grad school days as a teaching assistant, I have been speaking in public forums for nearly two decades. After graduating from Cornell with my master’s, I started teaching technology classes in the corporate world.

Since 1997, I have given more than 200 talks, speeches, presentations, and workshops to thousands of people.

These days, I speak about topics related to my books. These include: Big Data, emerging technologies, organizations, platforms, and management.

Phil has performed exceptionally well in two different capacities for us and we have already engaged him for a third event. As a speaker he is excellent. He's not arrogant but obviously very current with the technology trends affecting our markets. It is very valuable to have Phil exercise your team using his lens. He is very straightforward and clear in his communication style.
