About me....
Hello, I am Philip Andrew Young, living in the picturesque town of Bewdley in Worcestershire UK. I live with my wife Kim and have 3 grown up children. I retired from an award winning 40+ year career in Information Technology approximately 5 years ago, and have spent my time renovating properties but I now find I have the time to explore my passion for writing,
I am still open to discussing opportunities that come my way and some consider me to be an expert in the area of 'change' and the management of it, be that business or personal (I am a good listener).
Thank you for stopping by, Regards Phil.
HELLO,
So who am I?
My name is Philip Young, a successful award winning business & technology professional. Having over 40+ years of experience working with many well-known brands, across multiple sectors and in complex environments.
Why retire?
The time felt right 5 years ago for me to retire, I had a significant health scare and decided to invest my time and expertise in project anagement into refurbishing properties. More recently I have found myself having the time to explore my passion for writing.
Were you just another technologist?
No I am not..people ask me ''what are you really Phil as you have done so much?'' The short answer is that I have always thought myself to be a 'Hybrid', someone who bridges the gap between technology and other business functions, someone who can provide strategies, deliver on them and improve business.
