Phil was appointed Wallara CEO in 2010 after a 20 year career spanning investment banking, commercial law and sports marketing including 10 years overseas. 

 

The leap to the disability sector was primarily driven by being a carer of a family member with an intellectual disability who is also non verbal. 

 

Given that sports background,  Phil sees the Wallara role as helping the playing group of 700 adults with different abilities who attend Wallara’s 5 certified social enterprises  to  realise their full potential with help from a group of 200+ talented Support Coaches. Phil’s job is to generate partnerships and drive initiatives that enable Wallara to provide better outcomes than it can alone.
