PHILLIPS, Mark: BBA

I was raised on a Potato and Beef farm in Tyne Valley, Prince Edward Island. After finishing my degree in Business at UPEI, I started working with the PEI Potato Board shortly after graduation. I’ve been with the Potato Board for over 9 years working as Market Information Officer, and most recently taking on marketing responsibilities.

I’m responsible for pricing, shipment, and storage reports for potato dealers, growers and government officials. My marketing duties involve assisting our marketing director in sponsorship, community involvement, social media, and promotion.

Aside from my current work, I got my start in agriculture as a labourer on my family’s farm.
