Hi, I’m Phil, the founder of Seen.

I spent the last 12 years in high-growth startups, with 9 years of experience in adult education. Most recently, I was GM of Special Projects at Springboard, where I launched our B2B business, built five teams from the ground up, and hired and managed 50+ employees (while the company grew from 6 to 300). On every team I saw the same pattern play out again and again: the biggest variable in performance wasn't strategy or resources—it was the quality of human connection.

I spent the last five years researching the science of connection, and it completely changed my life. I founded Seen to share what I learned: connection and culture isn't magic—it's a system that can be measured, taught, and mastered.

I’ve worked with founders, executives, and teams from organizations like Google, the UN, and Intuitive Surgical. I help leaders treat connection as a vital sign, using evidence-based methods to improve trust, decision-making, retention, and performance.

There is nothing more foundational to not just our performance at work, but the quality and meaning of our lives, than the quality of our connections to each other.

Everyone deserves to know exactly how to create the types of meaningful connections we all want.
