Prophet appoints Google Cloud’s Phil Davis to advisory board

Predictive intelligence platform Prophet has appointed Phil Davis, vice president of global GTM at Google Cloud, as the second member of its advisory board.

He brings decades of global leadership experience from some of the world’s largest tech companies, including Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services and Hewlett Packard.

In his new role, Davis will advise Prophet on its go-to-market strategy for enterprise expansion and global scaling, the structuring of strategic partnerships, and the company’s approach to sales and market activation.

Company’s global ambitions

Jordan Taylor-Bartels, CEO of Prophet, said Davis’ appointment signals the company’s evolution into a truly global business.

“As Prophet expands beyond marketing into broader organisational and commercial modelling, his experience will help us build the systems and partnerships that allow us to scale internationally - and help our customers tackle entirely new classes of business problems,” he said.

Davis described Prophet as one of the most exciting companies he has seen globally.

“Prophet’s ability to build digital clones of businesses that simulate outcomes across marketing, operations, and macroeconomic environments represents a fundamental shift in how organisations can model real-world outcomes, optimise investments and deliver substantially better business performance,” he said.

“I am thrilled to be able to contribute to Prophet’s growth both because of their current technological leadership and also Jordan and the team’s vision of the future for the company.”

Sean Taylor, executive chairman of Prophet, said: he sees the business like a jigsaw puzzle - each advisor adds a new piece with its own shape, size and perspective.

“The art is in connecting them into something extraordinary. Phil is a critical piece of that puzzle, bringing the sharpness and balance needed as we continue to assemble something remarkable,” he said.
