Drew Phillips is the Director of Pipeline Development at the Oregon State University Foundation, where he is responsible for the overall orchestration of pipeline development efforts at OSUF. Drew's work includes driving lead generation, building and optimizing OSUF's discovery program, providing oversight and administration of its donor experience (DXO) program, and more. Drew started his career at OSUF in 2010, shortly after graduating from their heated rival, the University of Oregon. Having spent the last 15 years working his way from administrative assistant to his current role, he has been fortunate to fill a number of roles with increasing responsibility at OSUF. On the weekends you can find him regaling his wife with obscure NBA facts that no well-adjusted person could possibly find interesting. Sorry, Erin.
