He later co-found Southern States Marketing, a firm marketing semi-conductor components to electronics companies throughout the Southwest United States. He grew the firm from $1.2 million in sales the first year to over $90 million in annual sales within five years. Currently, he is assembling the teams necessary to launch five companies in the Spirit Technology Group. These five companies will develop products to serve the Education, Medical, Consumer, Mobile Software and 4G Broadband markets. Phil’s topic will be on one of his current projects, The STG Emerging Country One-to-One Education Computing Initiative. This global market has been identified by Nicholas Negroponte of the “One Laptop per Child” project (www.laptop.org) and Craig Barrett, Chairman of Intel, as in excess of 1 billion low cost computing devices. STG Education Solutions is in the process of developing low cost Netbooks, Mobile Internet Devices and eBook Readers that can be brought to market at lower price points via a disruptive and bold new business model than the “One Laptop per Child” project or the Computer OEMs can offer. And, the plan calls for these low cost computing devices to be built and shipped from the US beginning right here in Houston! You will want to hear this fascinating story!
