Ep. 126: College football shaped this executive in his 40th year with Avnet. Phil leads more than 15,000 employees across 140 countiries. Phil doesn’t believe in quick fixes and argues that integrity, the first among core values, has to be developed in the way we behave in the here and now—and over time. “There’s an old saying,” says Phil, “that people build trust penny by penny and spend it like a buck. You have to prioritize standing by your word.”
