The Green Book Global Origin Story:
Lawrence Phillips’ story is one of profound transformation and purpose. After spending over a decade in the fast-paced world of consulting, jet-setting around and playing a role he once deemed “important,” Lawrence had an epiphany. He realized that his true calling lay beyond the confines of the corporate rat race. Motivated by a desire to contribute something meaningful to the world, Lawrence made the bold decision to leave his established career behind.
This pivotal moment marked the beginning of Green Book Global.
