Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolOllie Phillips is a founder and CEO who translates elite sports leadership and extreme endurance experience into commercial performance and culture change for organisations. A former captain of England Rugby 7s, World 7s Player of the Year and high-performance coach for international programmes, he pairs frontline leadership under pressure with senior corporate advisory experience from PwC and board roles across private equity and sport. He founded Optimist Performance to help teams convert strategy into action, fix talent-to-impact gaps, and restore high-trust cultures using practical, evidence-informed interventions rather than theory. Beyond business, Ollie’s four world records, ocean crossings and polar expeditions sharpen his perspective on teamwork, risk and resilience—insights he applies to messy, high-stakes transformations. He holds an Executive MBA from Cambridge and combines credibility as a practitioner, coach and keynote speaker to help leaders move from capable to exceptional.
