Meet Phillip
Phillip Supino has dedicated his career to mountain and destination communities, helping turn wicked problems into opportunities. He has worked at all levels of public sector planning and collaborated with some of the top private sector consulting and development firms in the West. That experience has taught him that to sustain headwaters communities - the people, places, and landscapes that define life in the West - innovation must be rooted in context and progress must be guided by history.
