Leadership. Growth. The Next Chapter at Allied.
We’re proud to announce the promotion of Ken Phillips to Vice President of Business Development & Growth Strategy.
This month also marks 10 years since Ken joined The Allied Group. Over that time, he has helped expand Allied’s national presence, strengthen key client and industry relationships, and create opportunities for the company to grow both within hospitality and across complementary markets including restaurants and F&B, senior living, student living, and private clubs.
In his expanded role, Ken will lead Allied’s national business development and growth strategy—focusing on the right opportunities, the right relationships, and the markets where Allied’s experience can create the greatest value.
“Ken has been an important part of Allied’s growth over the past 10 years. Our strategy isn’t simply about pursuing more work. It’s about finding the right opportunities, with the right clients, where Allied’s experience can create meaningful value. Ken understands our business, our clients and our culture, and I’m confident he will play an important role in leading that strategy.” — Robert Smith, CEO & Chief Satisfaction Officer
Please join us in congratulating Ken on 10 years with Allied and this next chapter of leadership and growth.
The best is yet to come.
