“It was an absolute pleasure working with Phillip Tran at Wintrust. Even more so as I became his direct report. Starting off as associates within the same department, our professional relationship grew and then transitioned into not just another manager/employee but also mentor/mentee. His tenacity to excellence as a VP and leader really shines the most because that is the apex of all of the other attributes he possesses and contributes to not just me but also our team and the organization as a whole. From developing thorough SOPs, and digital strategies for Marketing Automation and Web Content Management to levels of project & stakeholder management, his Business Analyst skills also shine. I've learned a lot directly and indirectly from his multivariant management skills; not just from managing people alone but also his managing the number of projects, operational work, largescale meetings, and handling stressful situations. In our time working together, there were countless moments of stress and daily fires. Phil was always the best at stress management keeping cool, calm & collective never losing sight of the objective. Setting the tone this way, he really established a strong leadership presence in the face of adversity and extreme pressure. Building on this he exemplified his skillset as a Business Analyst where I learned better resource management, delegation duties, and overall leveling up attention to detail and becoming more organized than I currently was. Aside from this, Phil's aptitude for technology also shines heavily in the marketing automation space. While no longer building emails & campaigns himself he still knows the logic behind it all and is swift to work with data as it is captured. Whether that's Adobe Campaign, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, or another platform, he's quick to pivot and adapt in leveraging the technology in a fast-paced environment and make sense of any ambiguity. The last and most important of Phil's leadership is his interpersonal and relationship management with everyone. He's easy to connect with quickly on the professional side and also on a personal level. The fact that I can chat with him like a peer as well made it easy to relate with him to talk about non-work matters building the bond we had at Wintrust. He is approachable and his open-door policy really made it both cool and fun to work under him regardless of the daily challenges and fires we all had to contend with. Concluding this, "Yes I do recommend Phil Tran!" All of this mentioned coupled with his One-minute manager technique and strong leadership will ALWAYS be an asset no matter where he goes. There is a quote on leadership I'll end with that describes the growth Phil had on me to accomplish more than what I thought I was capable of at Wintrust: "Management is about persuading people to do things they do not want to do, while leadership is about inspiring people to do things they never thought they could." - Steve Job”
