Phillips’ career began when he was asked to do research for his master’s thesis on an emerging company, Telecommunications System of America (TSA). TSA sold to Northern Telecom (Nortel Networks) and Phillips stayed on, moving rapidly through the ranks to vice president. After Nortel, he was named president of National Satellite Paging, changed the company name to SkyTel, and created the nation’s largest messaging company.

Following SkyTel, Phillips moved to Telular Corporation, selling a portion to Motorola when Telular went public. He remained with Motorola and participated in launching digital cellular and multimedia, bringing the cable modem to the market.

Phillips went on to become Chairman & CEO of Interactive Pictures Corp.(iPIX), a company that created the first virtual tours by using 360° navigable images. Eventually, he left iPEX to help build the FedEx Institute of Technology, becoming CEO and Chairman of the company. [cite web
