Philip, now retired, enjoyed a long executive career, first founding and growing his own company and later working for a technology company in the US.

Following a liquidity event, Philip and his wife Jacqueline set aside funds for philanthropy. Their giving is hands-on and impact-driven, shaped by Philip’s tech and investment background.

Believing in the power of trust and flexibility, they prefer to offer unrestricted seed funding to smaller organisations, especially those in the environment, social justice, and Indigenous spaces.

For Philip and Jacqueline, philanthropy is a partnership. They get involved, offer practical support, and champion the overlooked, hoping to inspire others in tech to invest where it matters most.

“The biggest impact comes from backing changemakers on the ground and letting them lead.”
