About

I'm Patrick Phillips, a technology leader with over 20 years of experience building and scaling engineering organizations. Currently, I serve as Senior Vice President of Engineering and IT, where I focus on driving strategic AI implementation at enterprise scale.

My career has been defined by a focus on practical innovation—taking emerging technologies and turning them into reliable, scalable systems that solve real business problems. Whether it's modernizing legacy infrastructure, implementing LLMs and automation, or building high-performing teams, I'm driven by creating measurable impact.

At Sedgwick, I've led initiatives integrating large language models, predictive analytics, and intelligent automation into claims processing and IT operations. These aren't just pilot projects—they're production systems handling millions of transactions, delivering real ROI and fundamentally changing how the business operates.

Beyond the technology, I care deeply about building teams and developing leaders. I've mentored hundreds of engineers and technology professionals, helping them grow their skills and advance their careers. The best technology means nothing without great people to build and maintain it.

I write about AI strategy, engineering leadership, and digital transformation. My goal is to cut through the hype and share practical insights from real-world implementation experience. I enjoy connecting with fellow leaders and practitioners to discuss ideas and learn from each other's experiences.
