Meet Our Team
Phil Doran’s career began in the military, where he became a logistics and supply chain management specialist. He was deployed around the world-often in challenging environments that required sharp decision-making and high levels of discipline.
That same discipline has shaped his leadership style. Since transitioning into senior management roles, Phil has successfully led change and transformation projects across a range of industries in both the UK and New Zealand.
Today, as a business consultant with Oxygen8, Phil works closely with owners of small and medium-sized businesses to unlock growth, streamline operations, and implement long-term strategy.
In addition to consulting, Phil is also a cutting-edge business lecturer who stays current with the evolving New Zealand business landscape. He believes strongly in the power of ongoing learning and development within an organisation.
“Effective learning is a journey that identifies where we are now, where we are going, and how we are going to get there.”
Phil supports the creation of business cultures that improve staff satisfaction, reduce turnover, and enhance profitability through better alignment and engagement.
Phil champions the belief that great business outcomes stem from great business culture. A clearly stated vision and shared direction can align people and processes with purpose-driving stronger financial performance and adaptability.
His work in business development focuses on helping companies establish the operational structures and mindset needed to thrive in today’s fast-changing environment.
With extensive knowledge of corporate entrepreneurship and a no-nonsense, practical approach, Phil brings clarity and structure to business challenges. He has a refined understanding of how small and medium enterprises operate and scale.
Phil uses the Oxygen8 Business Success Programme as a powerful framework to guide strategy, challenge the status quo, and uncover new opportunities for sustainable growth and profitability.
“My goal is to support business owners over the long term so they can realise the full potential of their business.”
Phil lives in sunny Hawke’s Bay with his wife and four children. Outside of work, he keeps active playing, coaching, and occasionally watching football.
