Philip recently joined mesur.io after working as a management consultant for an analytics firm, to try to solve some of humanity's most pressing problems. Consider the appalling conditions in which some people are forced to work just to support their families, or where your safe food and water comes from.

Philip is thrilled to be a part of the team bringing the Earthstream® platform to market to help companies with their responsible sourcing and supply chain compliance efforts.
