Background

About Philip A.

I’d consider myself an operator with a strategic mindset. I’m not driven by ego and I care less about how people perceive me personally than I do about the quality of my work. It’s the work I put on the pedestal, not myself. My emails are short. I prefer to talk. I’m straight talking and say what I think, and try very hard to think about what I say. I am pro-office and I collaborate and communicate best in person, where tone and visual cues/expressions (and my dry humour) do the heavy lifting: Learner 🧩 Arranger 🧬 Individualisation 🧠 Strategic Achiever : 🧑‍ Data Driven/Democratised Culture 🧰 Enablement (Tooling, Systems, Ways of Working) Financial Stability and Fair Pay Psychological Safety Selfless & Collaborative : 🤖 Notion, NotebookLM, Perplexity 🪣 Fabric (OneLake), R, Power BI, Jasp Adobe, Camtasia, Sony MacOS (+Parallels) Nescaffe GB, Tangfastics : Actively Listen ‍ Challenge Ambiguity 🫱‍🫲 Candid Collaboration Rigorous Execution Pattern Recognition : Dog Dad (2x Raptors Dressed as Scotties) 🥾 Yomping Snowboarding 🥷 Avoiding People All the Food : There’s an exhilarating excitement associated with planning and launching a project. Still, it is rare to achieve the under-budget and on-time results that such giddiness promises. I refer to it as “schoolbook syndrome”. The neatest handwriting you ever produced was on those first few pages of a brand-new textbook. My textbooks? They’re as consistently neat at the end as they were at the beginning.
