Marcus G. Phillips is a seasoned marketing executive, writer, and speaker with nearly two decades of experience leading global brands and teams. He has built a reputation for driving transformation not only in markets but also in people.

As Segment Chief Marketing Officer for a $1.6 billion business within a global $4.1 billion organization, Marcus partnered with leaders across North America, Europe, and Asia to launch strategies that fueled growth and reshaped culture. This experience taught him that intentional shifts—the corporate equivalent of launching Directional Arrows™—are the proven path to sustainable transformation.

Alongside his corporate journey, he has mentored colleagues and coached emerging leaders, inspiring others to launch their own "arrows" of risk and reinvention. His story of navigating executive burnout, surviving a $40,000 entrepreneurial failure, and reframing his career gives him a rare, authentic voice that resonates with high-achieving professionals.

Today, Marcus is the co-founder of Engage AIS, a company that builds AI-powered growth systems, and a devoted husband and father of three sons.

The Zone Shift™ is his first book, reflecting both his professional expertise and his personal mission to provide a new language for growth. He embodies his own message: identity is not discovered in comfort but forged through the intentional shifts that create the gravity for Galaxy Expansion™.
