Phil helped reshape Matrix iQ into a hardware-agnostic, data-led risk analysis platform. That platform is now used by commercial fleet insurers, vehicle providers, and large enterprise fleets. He also led the company’s expansion into North America and Australia through strategic partnerships.
Phil has grown with the company through several roles. He joined as Sales Manager and was promoted to Sales Director. He later added marketing to his remit as Sales and Marketing Director. He built the marketing function from nothing, hiring its first leader and team. He became Chief Revenue Officer in 2022.
Phil brings discipline to commercial operations. He built a forecasting model that consistently delivers high accuracy. He also implemented CRM systems and a formal qualification framework to strengthen pipeline quality. He reports regularly to the board and takes part in investor discussions.
Before Matrix iQ, Phil was Managing Director of Sat Nav Warehouse, a retailer of satellite navigation and vehicle tracking products. He also founded Sterling Daisy, a payments venture for exhibitors, and began his career in specialist recruitment.
Phil holds a BSc in Sports Studies from the University of Southampton.
