About Harry Phillips

Hi, I’m Harry Phillips, a seasoned Senior Business Support professional with over 20 years of experience in business administration, governance, compliance, and stakeholder engagement. Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in executive support, project coordination, personnel training, and process improvement. I am passionate about fostering a positive team environment while driving operational excellence through strategic initiatives. Known for being highly organised, detail-oriented, and proactive, I take pride in delivering structured solutions that enhance productivity and streamline business processes. My professional journey began in retail management, where I developed leadership, customer service, and operational skills. I then pursued and completed a Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology while working part-time in hospitality, achieving a distinction-average GPA from Flinders University. After graduating, I spent five years in the UK, initially working for a major bank executing nominee share trades for high-net-worth clients. I later transitioned into team management roles within the finance industry, where I combined analytical problem-solving with leadership strategies to drive business performance and enhance operational efficiency. Upon returning to South Australia, I sought an opportunity in a dynamic, team-oriented business, leading me to join the Bernie Lewis Home Loans family. Over the past 14+ years, I have evolved into a versatile professional, gaining extensive experience across multiple business functions. My core competencies include: • Project Coordination & Change Management – Leading and implementing business improvements. • Database Management, Reporting & Analysis – Extracting insights to inform strategic decisions. • Stakeholder & Relationship Management – Engaging with internal teams and external partners. • IT & Cybersecurity Support – Enhancing digital security and troubleshooting technical issues. • Compliance & Regulatory Support – Assisting in maintaining operational integrity. • Marketing & Training Functions – Supporting brand messaging and professional development. My diverse experience has given me a comprehensive skill set and a proactive mindset, enabling me to adapt, lead, and contribute meaningfully in business operations, technology, and governance.
