Partner, People & Culture
Phill Lane works with organisations to define and deliver people, culture and employer brand strategies that support business performance and transformation. He operates at executive level, advising CEOs, CHROs and leadership teams on how to align their organisations behind clear direction and turn strategy into something employees and potential employees can understand and act on.
In more than 25 years working across insight, strategy and communications, including eight years as Managing Director of a global employer brand agency, Phill has partnered with organisations including IKEA, Mercedes-Benz, McDonald’s, DLA Piper, Accenture and Capita – leading award-winning programmes for global brands spanning culture transformation, EVP, employer brand and integrated communication campaigns.
He is typically involved in moments of change – new leadership, new strategy or organisational transformation – where clarity and alignment are critical. This can mean defining purpose, vision and values, or building EVP and employer brand platforms for organisations operating across multiple markets. It also includes delivering the communications and campaigns that activate these programmes across both internal and external audiences and across all key channels and formats.
Known for combining strategic clarity with hands-on delivery, Phill works closely with senior stakeholders and their teams to turn complex challenges into practical, high-impact programmes.
