Mr. Ullmann is a social entrepreneur known for founding businesses that are beneficial to local communities. He was the Chief Energiser of Corden Group, a recruiting company that takes a holistic approach to sourcing executives. In 2017, Phillip restructured the company to become a social business, capping executive salaries and putting a limit on dividend distributions. He is also the founder of Covenant Advisory, a consultancy that helps businesses and governments align their operational strategy with societal goals. Phillip’s views are informed by his scriptural research, giving him an interesting perspective on how the business community should interact with the rest of society. Mr. Ullmann earned his master’s in business administration from Brunel University of London and a master’s in engineering from the University of Cambridge.
Mr. Ullmann discussed how a moneyless economy could work, why it is good to avoid centralization within monetary systems, and why the sole responsibility of corporations should not be profit.
