RUSS PHILLIPS, LLC
ORLANDO, FLORIDA

Most recently I was Founder and Managing Member of QC Commercial, LLC, an industrial painting and coatings company in Raleigh, NC. QC Commercial, founded in 2003, focuses on the pharmaceutical and healthcare sector of the new construction industry. Pharmaceutical plants and hospitals completed in the past five years include Wyeth/Pfizer, Merck, Becton Dickinson, Albemarle Hospital, Davis Regional, and Franklin Regional Hospital. I was responsible for all business development activities within the company. The business was generating just under $1M in annual revenue and employed fifteen people in 2009, however, due to the economic downturn in construction that same year, the company’s revenues fell by sixty-five percent in 2010. Although revenues are climbing back, I have made the decision to systematically conclude all business operations this year and complete a fiscally responsible company shut down by December 2012.
