Phil Gardner is Chief Growth & Transformation Officer at Colliers UK, where he leads the firm’s growth, digital transformation and AI agenda. He is responsible for driving organisational change, enhancing digital capabilities and helping teams harness technology to deliver better outcomes for clients.<\/p>\n

Phil’s work focuses on helping organisations navigate change, improve performance and unlock potential through the combined power of leadership, culture, technology and talent development. He believes sustainable growth comes from creating the conditions for people and organisations to collaborate effectively and perform at their best.<\/p>\n

A passionate advocate for the practical application of AI, Phil sees technology as an enabler of better decision-making, stronger collaboration and improved productivity rather than an end in itself. His perspective is shaped by a career spent helping businesses evolve, build high-performing teams and create long-term value through innovation, operational excellence and human-centred transformation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2120,"template":"","speaker-category":[10],"class_list":["post-2093","speaker","type-speaker","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","speaker-category-speaker"],"acf":{"position":"Chief Growth and Transformation Officer","business":2094,"email":"","phone":"","website":"","address":"","linkedin":"","facebook":"","instagram":"","youtube":"","x":"","bluesky":"","whatsapp":""},"yoast_head":"\nPhil Gardner -
