FOUNDATIONS

FROM GAMING TO TECH

From the early years of playing video games at the age of 7, and starting to play online at the age of 16, Philip forged a career in the video game and esports industry.

He set up his first business straight after university and used that as a springboard to complete gaming projects for Microsoft, Intel and Telefonica.

Over the following years he also worked for EA SPORTS on the FIFA video game, Disney and Square Enix.

DESIGNING AND BUILDING SYSTEMS

BILLION-DOLLAR TECH

Philip then moved more heavily into the tech space where he managed ecommerce integration projects for Tesco, Boots, Jimmy Choo and others before switching to the marketing technology world.

This switch saw him design and build automation strategies and integrations for flydubai, OSN, Aramex and others following a move to Dubai in 2015.

He also built his own mobile App startup and taught himself to code during the COVID lockdowns.

LIFE CHANGING INJURY AND A NEW PATH

FROM BROKEN NECK TO BREAKING CHAINS

In January 2020 Philip broke his neck playing rugby, couldn't afford the surgery and put faith in his body's ability to heal naturally. 18 months later, and another set of scans, showed that new bone had grown around the break.

This experience, and losing 50% of his business during the COVID lockdowns, led Philip to start a personal development journey.

Since then he's given up alcohol, written and published 2 books and redesigned his business to focus on supporting people through his 12 chains framework and tech know-how.
