David Phillips

Equal parts educator, facilitator, and instigator, David has devoted his professional life to
helping people make things better. He brings sharp insight, disarming honesty, and practical
tools to help teams reimagine what’s possible and leaders rethink how they lead—sparking
innovation from the inside out. Before founding Faster Glass in 2010, David spent six years at Bank of America, leading and supporting initiatives at the intersection of technology,
innovation, and Human-Centered Design. Before that, he served in a wide range of roles in
public accounting, public education, and the U.S. Air Force.

David draws on his diversity of experience to see the world from different perspectives and to enable others to do the same. Based in Charlotte, David also enjoys being a husband, father, photographer, musician, and cyclist, even as he is often reminded of his amateur status in all five endeavors.

David earned a B.S in Education (cum laude) from Louisiana Tech University.
