Philip Engelhardt

“I've known Phil for nearly 15 years. He has been incredibly supportive of the startups he works with providing his expertise and rolodex to them. Phil has been in Silicon Valley longer than I've been alive and if he doesn't know person he is only 1 degree away from them!”

“Philip is an inspirational and supportive leader, excellent mentor with brilliant ability to objectively analyze and evaluate project or specific situation. I have had a pleasure meeting Philip at Plug&Play Tech Center, and received valuable feedback and recommendations. Thank you!”

““It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” Charles Darwin Philip has a great grasp of what is changing in business!”

“I had the pleasure of working with Philip when he was a strategic advisor to Silicon Graphics. Philip has a rare combination of business acumen, technical knowledge and a great personality. With this, he has the ability to see problems, suggest possible solutions and influence others to act. In addition to these skills, he also has an extensive array of business contacts which he can (and does) draw upon as needed to build intra-company bridges, strategic partnerships, etc. I would (and will) work with Philip again.”

“Philip was a great inspiration to work with. His understanding of the entertainment industry was superior, and you could see how he continually was harvesting knowledge. His affable work style always made communication and customer/partner negotiations easier. It was great to work with someone who could zoom out into the bigger picture as well as understand the individual point tactics needed for success.”

“Philip is an industry icon and has been instrumental in helping many companies, and their key individuals, succeed in meeting their business objectives.”

“Philip is a supreme example of how one who is accomplished in the financial, entertainment, and technology worlds can embody convergence itself. As a former Swiss banker, advisor to entertainment studios, and leader of technology companies, Philip is not only comfortable in these worlds he is globally respected for his accomplishments. I remain honored to refer to him as a mentor and trusted colleague. He is also the definition of the word 'gentleman.'”

“Philip was an outstanding advisor and senior executive representative for Silicon Graphics when we were implementing our strategic Digital Asset Management and digital workflow program at Viacom. Philip immediately understood the strategic advantage of this initiative and was able to get the right resources and visability we need within SGI.”

“Philip's inspired ability as a leader, manager and turn-around specialist taught me a tremendous amount during our time together at MDvista. His positive outlook in the face of great challenges really helped to guide and motivate the team.”
