Phil Geldart is the founder and the C.E.O. of Eagle’s Flight, a Canadian company focused on improving individual and team productivity. Eagle’s Flight is presently represented in over thirty-five countries and enjoys an enviable reputation for customer service, product effectiveness, and having fun!

Phil will draw on his role as an entrepreneurial CEO and a seasoned Christian leader. He will share his thoughts on how those two can be brought together to build a powerful and high performing corporate culture, and the role of God’s Word on that journey. 

Prior to founding Eagle’s Flight, Phil was with Nestlé Canada, where he worked for 18 years, the last five of which he served as a member of the Executive team in the capacity of Senior Vice President of Human Resources. In addition to managing the traditional HR responsibilities, he spearheaded Nestlé Canada’s focus on improved profitability through more effective use of their human resources. Phil has considerable experience with acquisition and divestiture initiatives, managed sales and distribution, and has created a number of leadership programs. He has also written six books: “In Your Hands, the Behaviors of a World Class Leader”, which provides practical and clear guidelines for those with responsibility for others; “In Search of the Gold of the Desert Kings – A Journal of my Travels”, an entertaining story based on Eagle’s Flight’s Gold of the Desert Kings™ program; and “Lead Yourself Lead Others”, an invaluable guide for those in the early stages of their leadership journey. 

In addition to his corporate experience, Phil has worked for a number of years in the university environment. He has also been very heavily involved in Christian youth ministries and related leadership and discipleship training. His focus at Eagle’s Flight is to increase the company’s capacity to meet changing market needs, expand their global position, and periodically consult at the executive level.

He is an enthusiastic participant in a number of sports, was a semi-professional magician in his university days; and enjoys a number of interests from home improvement to local theatre. He is married with two adult children, and lives outside of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
