David Phillips graduated from Oxford University, on a full academic scholarship having grown up in the industrial Midlands of England where he was born. He has lived in the U.S.A. for the last 38 years and is a United States citizen, having emigrated with his wife. He has three sons and nine grandchildren. Two of his sons are investment bankers and one is a pediatric heart surgeon.
Mr. Phillips has over 40 years of multi-national business development and turnaround management experience as a senior chemical industry executive. He has been CEO of six companies.
In four years at Alcolac (owned by Rio Tinto Zinc Plc), he built sales from $45 million/year to $150 million/year and quadrupled operating profit. In two years, he returned Sherex (owned by Schering AG) to substantial profitability after four years of increasing losses.
He has been founding CEO of two biotechnology and photochemical start-ups through 7 rounds of financing. One of these, Biocode was one of the founding companies of Authentix, recently acquired by Carlyle for $100 million.
As President of the Houdry Process Corporation, he revamped obsolete petrochemical technology to pioneer the worldwide production and use of octane enhancers to replace lead in gasoline. Investments exceeded $10 billion, of which $3 billion have been in Saudi Arabia. When President Nixon normalized relations with China, Houdry under Phillips, already had Americans working in China. Subsequently he and his colleagues introduced Chinese in Mao suits to modern petrochemical and refining technology.
During his career, David Phillips has created many new businesses and many thousands of new jobs. He has never closed a plant always opting to find new opportunities for them. He is currently bringing a previously bankrupt plant in New York State back to vibrant life with 40 new jobs so far in the past year.
He and his wife of 43 years travel extensively throughout the world and there are few countries in which he has not conducted business.
David Phillips came to the US to escape the tyranny of left thinking in 1970. He has lived in several different parts of the USA and most recently in Boston for over 10 years.visualizza meno
