Phil Preston

Phil helps executives and leaders align profit with social purpose to create high-performing, sustainable and envied businesses. He left his career as a portfolio manager and research team leader at Colonial First State in 2007 to pioneer work in the field of 'shared value': using the profit motive of business to tackle social and environmental problems at scale. He is the author of Connecting Profit With Purpose and has worked with blue chip names across most industries and sectors. Outside of work, he is enthusiastic about coffee, chocolate and socially-distanced trail running!
