Phil Baxter
Director of PYXI Group
Phil takes a commercial role at PYXI, working with customers to ensure our software solutions provide great value and business benefits. His varied business career started in management consultancy, where he helped international clients like Ray-Ban to reshape their complex supply chains, whilst racking up a lot of Air Miles. After setting up, running and selling his own consulting firm, Phil got involved directly in mergers and acquisitions – he’s sold nearly a dozen independent firms in the UK to buyers around the world. In common with his colleagues at PYXI, Phil is passionate about the small business sector, and in particular how smaller firms can adopt best practice across their business, and how they can use digital technology to gain a competitive edge. Outside of work, Phil is hugely outnumbered by his four daughters and wife, and essentially runs a charitable Uber-like service, just for his family.
