Philip Fierlinger
I’m Philip Fierlinger, Co-CEO of Upstock, a wholesale ordering app used by top restaurants, cafes, bars and their suppliers.

Previously, I co-founded Xero (case study) where I was Head of Design for nearly 10 years. My career spans over 25 years, starting with my first client the Beastie Boys (case study) in 1995. Prior to that, in my final year of university I got an internship with General Magic (case study) "the most important startup you've never heard of".
‍
I work with startup entrepreneurs and designers who are on a mission to create products people love.

I’m dedicated to nurturing the talent pool of designers and quality of startups in New Zealand.

Here’s what I can offer:

For Startups

  • Product strategy
  • Marketing strategy
  • Team strategy
  • Investor strategy

For Designers

  • Skill development
  • Portfolio development
  • Career development

Interested?

I’d love to connect. Please get in touch.
