who am i?

Hi, I’m JULIE PHILLIPPS

I'm a former Chief People Officer and Board Advisor with a track record of shaping the people agenda inside global enterprises and scaling high-growth tech companies from the ground up.

Today, I partner with bold founders and CEOs who are building something that matters. Together, we design leadership, culture, and talent strategies that don’t just tick boxes, they power real, sustainable growth.

Also: I'm a mum, a carer, and a gym junkie. Which means I know a thing or two about stamina, resilience, and finding headspace in the chaos.

What I bring to the table

For over a decade, I’ve led people and culture strategy at companies like Microsoft and high-growth technical organisations - expanding globally, building inclusive teams, and aligning people to profit.

What I bring to your business:

  • Strategic leadership & board-level insight

  • Practical people systems for scale

  • DEI, organisational design & people analytics expertise

  • A deep belief that culture is your competitive edge

"I believe business thrives when people do."

— Julie Phillips, Founder of Alturos HR
