MEET PHIL….
“The task of an applied macroeconomist is somewhat akin to trying to put a massive jigsaw puzzle together with the problem that half the pieces are missing and the picture keeps changing.”
With almost 40 years of both public and private sector experience in applied international economics Phil has a lifetime of learnings to share with his members.
Educated at Oxford University, Phil is a dual UK/ US citizen. Phil and his wife/business manager Ruth divide their time between their home on Lake Oconee, Georgia and their apartment in Washington DC. Phil began his professional career in the International Division of the Bank of England in 1982.

After spending some time in the early 2000’s at both the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the World Bank, Phil became Global Head of Emerging Markets Research at Barclays Capital in 2005.
