Hi, I’m Phil Marsewski.
My background is in biotech — which is not where most brand strategists come from, and that's exactly the point. I spent eight years inside one of the most regulated, high-stakes operating environments there is, structuring ambiguous problems, aligning stakeholders who didn't agree, and managing initiatives where being unclear wasn't an option.
What that experience gave me is a very high tolerance for complexity and a genuine impatience with work that isn't rigorous. I don't think strategy should be impressionistic. I think it should be defensible — built on real insight, structured clearly, and designed to hold up when someone pushes back on it.
That's what I bring to Evergreen. Not just project management, but the kind of operational thinking that makes strategy actually executable.
What I bring to the table
Operational strategy & project leadership
Structuring complex engagements from kickoff to delivery — with clear accountability, realistic timelines, and nothing falling through the cracks.
Analytical rigor
Bringing a research-backed, structured approach to problems that might otherwise get solved by gut feel alone.
Stakeholder alignment
Facilitating the hard conversations that get teams, founders, and decision-makers pointed in the same direction.
Systems design
Building the internal frameworks — processes, playbooks, delivery structures — that let a growing firm scale without losing quality.
