Phil Smith is a UK risk strategist and founder operating at the convergence of security, data and commercial resilience. A founder of Every Risk Group, alongside his work with Lodge Security and Transpeye, he advises retail and FMCG organisations navigating rapid growth and increasing risk complexity — helping them mature controls without constraining performance. With more than 25 years’ international experience in high-risk, fast-moving consumer goods environments, including senior roles with global brands such as The Walt Disney Company and Virgin Group, Phil has built a consistent track record of delivering industry-leading outcomes in risk mitigation and operational resilience.
His work is grounded in a simple principle: once identity and activity become digital, the question shifts from “what happened?” to “should this be happening?”. He explores how integrated systems and real-time intelligence transform physical environments into continuous risk engines.
Holding professional qualifications that underpin his practical experience, Phil focuses on helping organisations move from reactive loss prevention to proactive, data-led risk governance — embedding measurable control maturity across complex estates.
