MANAGEMENT PROFILE

V.I.P. - A Profile Of Its President And Founder

Basil G. Phillips
Our Management Team operates under the leadership of a former Exxon International Executive. He started V.I.P. over 16 years ago as a high volume, high speed reprographics service specializing in corporate accounts. Since then the company has expanded to become one of the largest electronic reprographics centers in New Jersey. He has taken the techniques used in his successful rise at Exxon and applied them to business operations at V.I.P.

Basil is a 1966 magna cum laude Graduate from C.C.N.Y. School of Engineering and Architecture where he was elected to Tau Beta Pi (the National Engineering Honor Society) and received the University's Distinguished Alumnus Award for "Excellence in Scholarship." He also holds graduate degrees in Engineering & Business.

Basil is an active participant in the N.Y./N.J. Minority Purchasing Council because he believes that the Council is at the leading edge of a working partnership between corporations and minority entrepreneurs. As a former Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, he led a reorganization task group of corporate members and entrepreneurs that resulted in a complete restructuring of the Council's activities. He currently serves on Merrill Lynch's Supplier Diversity Advisory Board. He continues limited involvement on various boards and business groups and is also a church leader, public speaker and lecturer.

In 2002 Basil was appointed Co-Chair of the Congressional Business Advisory Council representing New Jersey. He was honored in March 2003 with the N.J. Businessman-of-the-Year award, presented in Washington D.C. at the annual tax summit.
