FORT LAUDERDALE, FL / ACCESS Newswire / May 6, 2026 / Marquis Who's Who is proud to interview and honor Philip Berry, MSW, MBA, for his distinguished contributions to executive coaching, organizational development, leadership training and human resources strategy. Mr. Berry's recognition also reflects a career marked by global corporate leadership, entrepreneurial success and a longstanding commitment to helping people and organizations reach higher levels of performance.

Mr. Berry is president of Philip Berry Associates LLC, where he provides executive coaching, organizational development consulting and leadership training. Through his work, he supports clients seeking to improve performance, strengthen team effectiveness, develop talent and address transformation challenges, including diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. His aim, as shared in his Marquis Who's Who interview, is straightforward: "My clear mission is to help individuals, teams and organizations move from their current performance levels to higher capabilities. That is exactly what my mission is."

In the interview, Mr. Berry explained that many people seek his guidance after trying multiple approaches without achieving the results they want. "Maybe they're stuck, stymied, they've hit a wall and they want to get past that," he said. What they need, he added, are practical steps, greater clarity and a stronger understanding of how to articulate their goals, refine their brand and take meaningful action. His ability to help clients reframe challenges and identify a path ahead has made him a trusted advisor to leaders and organizations facing change.

Mr. Berry's expertise is grounded in an exceptional career that spans 58 years. Before launching and leading his consulting practice, he served as chief human resources officer for the Clinton Foundation from 2015 to 2018, where he gained valuable insight into nonprofit leadership and community impact. Earlier, he built an accomplished career at Colgate-Palmolive, where he held a series of senior leadership positions, including vice president of global workplace initiatives and corporate officer, vice president of human resources for Europe, and vice president for the Latin American division. His resume also includes leadership experience with the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority, Digital Equipment Corporation, Procter & Gamble, and IBM.

Among the highlights of his career, Mr. Berry points to his global experience as especially significant. During his years with Colgate-Palmolive, he lived in Paris and worked in more than 60 countries throughout Eastern Europe, Russia, Africa and Central America. Those experiences broadened his perspective and helped shape the inclusive, culturally aware leadership style for which he is known today. His biographical materials emphasize his strong listening skills, team orientation and sensitivity to cultural differences, qualities that have enabled him to work effectively across borders and with people from a wide range of backgrounds.

Mr. Berry had the honor of serving in a leadership capacity for the City University of New York as a trustee and subsequently as vice chair of the board from 2015 to 2024. Additionally, he is presently the vice chair of the board of trustees for the Louis Armstrong House Museum.

A published author, Mr. Berry wrote "Being Better Than You Believe: 8 Steps to Ultimate Success," a work that reflects his commitment to personal growth, leadership development and meaningful achievement. Over the years, he has also become known for his work in helping companies improve diversity, equity and inclusion, drawing on decades of corporate experience and an appreciation for how leadership and culture shape organizational outcomes. His efforts have earned him notable recognition, including the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award and an Outstanding Community Development Award from the State of New York.

In discussing current developments in his field during the interview, Mr. Berry noted that many individuals and organizations are feeling stymied by rapid economic shifts and emerging technologies, particularly artificial intelligence. Rather than viewing AI as something to fear, he encourages clients to step back, clarify where they are headed and develop a new vision for how innovation can support improved performance. He also emphasized flexibility in how he works with clients, whether through Zoom, in-person meetings or multiple AI-enabled modalities, reflecting his willingness to adapt while staying focused on the human and behavioral dimensions of change.

Looking ahead, Mr. Berry intends to continue combining the lessons of his corporate, nonprofit and entrepreneurial experience while exploring new technologies that can expand his impact on a global level. His long-term aim is not simply to advise organizations, but to help people see new possibilities in themselves, their teams and the future of their work.

"Philip Berry exemplifies the caliber of executive coach and organizational leader Marquis Who's Who is proud to chronicle," the editorial team stated. "His ability to help individuals and organizations navigate change, strengthen leadership and unlock higher levels of performance reflects a career defined by insight, inclusion and lasting impact." Through its interview and recognition of Mr. Berry, Marquis Who's Who celebrates a professional whose career continues to inspire transformation across sectors and generations.
