Background

About Tom W. Phillips

With over 20 years of experience spanning operations management, customer service, brand development, marketing, sales training, and nonprofit leadership, I’ve worn a lot of hats, and I’ve worn them well. Whether leading a team as Vice President of an energy services company, building community programs from the ground up as a non-profit Executive Director, managing rental properties, or working as a trusted freelance auditor and merchandiser, I bring a results-focused mindset and a hands-on, people-first approach. I thrive in fast-paced environments where adaptability, clear communication, and practical leadership are key. I’ve developed and trained teams, launched marketing campaigns, managed assets, and created systems to help businesses grow sustainably and ethically. Tech-savvy and deeply resourceful, I work well independently and collaboratively to solve problems, drive efficiency, and build lasting value. In addition to leadership and business development roles, I bring 25+ years of experience in property maintenance, handyman services, and construction work. From electrical and general repairs to renovation oversight and site management, I’ve developed the skills and judgment needed to maintain properties efficiently and safely. I’m just as comfortable swinging a hammer as I am leading a strategic planning session, and I’m open to opportunities that allow me to put these practical, boots-on-the-ground skills to good use. I’m currently exploring new opportunities where I can bring my broad experience, entrepreneurial spirit, and operational insight to the right team or mission-driven organization. • Let’s connect. I’m open to full-time, contract, or consulting roles in operations, program management, business development, or nonprofit leadership, or skilled trade work.
