OUR TEAM
Phil Lambert - President & CEO
Phil Lambert is a leader, an innovator and problem solver. His business is to ensure that your business is fully prepared for the unexpected. Early in his career, as an IT Help-desk Manager, Phil understood the importance of mission critical operations and how they can impact a company. What changed his life and paved the way for his future was asking the question, 'What if?'
It was then he realized how adversely impacted his organization would be in the event of an unexpected disaster. The countless 'what if' scenarios clamored for his attention and inspired him to create a 'back up' plan. This program was so comprehensive and thorough that it addressed any event from fire to flooding, from sabotage to systems failure. This was Phil's debut in the business continuity and contingency planning arena. It was said he had the best continuity team in the nation.
Phil is an expert in the contingency planning field with over 15 years of experience. He has proven success in the design, development and implementation of enterprise continuity programs, and managing large teams of continuity planners. Phil has held leadership positions at two Fortune 500 companies. He was a lead strategist in the design and implementation of the Y2K program for Option One Mortgage, H&R Block's mortgage subsidiary. Phil also held the position of Director of Business Continuity Planning for Safeco Corporation, a financial services leader. He has a reputation for highly effective, innovative solutions within his field.
Phil is a leading advocate in the business continuity community. He has served on numerous boards for the Association for Contingency Planners (ACP), is a professional trainer and keynote speaker at national and local conferences and meetings.
