“Philip brings a valuable combination of hands-on CFO leadership and extensive capital markets experience,” said Andre Garber, Interim Chief Executive Officer of NowVertical. “Since joining as an advisor, he has developed a strong understanding of our business and priorities, and his experience will add important perspective to our financial and capital markets priorities.
