“There are a number of colleagues throughout the years that have left a positive impact on my life. I’m proud to say that Philippe is one of them. I have known Philippe for over 15 years and I’ve had the pleasure of working with him for a number of those years while he was VP of Unilever as well as the Chief Marketing Officer at Materne North America. He is one of the most dedicated and competent men in his devoted field. Philippe demonstrates the honesty and trustworthiness that is appealing to any company he is working for and with. He is a deeply devoted family man and he is truly motivated to enhance the value of the product from the consumers perspective. He cares about the business side of things, but cares for people first. He is a consummate professional, and a joy to be around and work with.
That's what makes me so pleased to be writing this about him. It is an honor to call him a former co-worker, business confidant, but a greater honor to call him my friend!”
Dominique Dawes, Olympic Gold Medalist Gymnast & Founder of Dominique Dawes Gymnastics Academy
“I worked closely with Philippe for several years on the launch of the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty when he was Marketing Director for Dove Skin/Masterbrand and after his promotion to VP Brand Development for Skin in North America. He had a deep understanding and appreciation for the brand and an amazing ability to motivate his teams and build true partnerships - which is reflected in the results and long list of awards. He is strategic, thoughtful, focused, trust worthy and passionate. And he pushed us further and higher than any of us thought was possible!”
Larry Koffler, Senior Counselor, Occula Group
“I'll never forget the first time that I met Philippe - we were presenting the script for the Axe "Cleans Your Balls" online infomercial spoof. We loved the concept, knew it would be very effective but didn't know if Unilever would take a chance on an unknown format and a script that brilliantly walked the line between making people blush and making people laugh. Philippe was the big test. And yet immediately he was in, seeing the power of the concept. He then went on to help us get it through the system, advocating at every step and making the obstacles disappear. He took a chance and it paid off, leading to a piece that not only decisively connected with the audience, but increased sales.”
Heidi Hackemer, Executive Director, Oatly Climate/Culture Lab
"I have had the pleasure of working with Philippe twice now, both on his team at GoGo squeeZ and at YuMOVE. As someone who specializes in digital marketing, I was particularly impressed with his ability to drive digital transformation at both companies we worked at. Among the things I admire most about Philippe is his leadership style; he is professional yet approachable, sharp yet easygoing and can inspire a team to bring out the best in themselves in a way only the best leaders do."
