Philip Fulton

My business experience

I have over 34 years' business experience that includes a start-up strategic marketing consulting firm, executive management for three $250 million+ healthcare organizations, service as a chief operating officer for a boutique consulting firm, and vice president of marketing and business development. I am an experienced, results-oriented management consultant and business advisor. I created Strategic Leadership™, a nationally franchised strategic planning process that guides organizations to create their own plans through a facilitative process that achieves real outcomes.

My Vistage Group

I lead a Chief Executive group and a Trusted Advisor group. Members of my groups come from a wide range of industries, including network solutions and communications, concrete waterproofing and restoration, marketing and communication, consulting engineers, customer interaction solutions, senior housing real estate, profit improvement advisors, mechanical design and contracting, wealth management, financial advisory and interim CFO services.

The success of my groups comes from the commitment among members to challenge each other, offer insights and experiences, be willing to share their issues and look to the group for strategic and personal support.

Who is the "ideal" Vistage member?

Here are the characteristics of the ideal member:

• Honesty - Will confront fellow CEOs in a constructive and caring manner
• Open - Will share opportunities, issues and problems with their peers
• Willing - More than a little dissatisfied with results and seeking growth
