Phil Akilade

Welcome, my name is Phil Akilade, thanks for visiting my author page.

As a business practitioner rather than a professional writer, taking the step to author a book was a daunting one for me. As the world spiralled into the challenge of a global pandemic, I started to realise that so many business leaders were having to tackle chaos like never before. Since I’ve experienced a long and quite successful career in the world of business, I began to feel a sense of responsibility for giving something back to my community.

I’m the founder of The Business Transformation School which is dedicated to helping business leaders transform the performance of their businesses. We help our clients leverage both the "Chaos" of today's trading conditions and the "Digital Tsunami" of the last 10 years into major growth opportunities. 

Over the last 35 years I've built 6 businesses from scratch - sold 4 of them (making healthy returns in the process), closed one and experienced the pain of a significant business loss with the other. 

I understand the pleasure and pain of being an entrepreneur. 

I've taken CEO responsibility for building and developing 3 organisations, helping to sell 2 of them on to large multinationals (one of which sold for $600+ Million) and turning around the other. 

So, I know how difficult it can be to turn theory into practice in real life situations.

I hope you find my book useful.
