Kam Phillips is a social impact entrepreneur, author, and facilitator who specializes in helping mission-driven organizations enhance the mental health, emotional intelligence, career readiness, and personal success of their emerging talent. Raised in metro Atlanta, Kam experienced firsthand the challenges of navigating opportunity gaps, battling mental health challenges, and veering on dangerous paths. After being recruited to play collegiate basketball, Kam earned a degree in Economics from Emory University, laying the foundation for his career in finance.

​

With a background in investment management, Kam spent years advising high-net-worth clients at firms like ETRADE Financial, AllianceBernstein, and JPMorgan Chase, gaining firsthand insight into the strategies and mindsets that sustain generational wealth. Despite his corporate success, Kam felt called to bridge the gaps between personal development, financial wellness, and underserved communities, recognizing that practical education, exposure, and emotional resilience are key to breaking negative cycles. Walking away from his corporate career, he dedicated himself to mentoring, coaching, and developing programs that equip young adults with the skills to make informed decisions, build fulfilling careers, and create a solid foundation for their lives. 

​

Kam has partnered with colleges, school districts, ministries, municipalities, leadership programs, corporate partners, and non-profits in the U.S. to help people align their actions to their values, so they can reach their personal and professional goals and still be fulfilled. As the Founder and Executive Director of True Change, Inc. Kam serves clients through program development, strategic planning, and workshop facilitation to create frameworks that empower young adults to align their actions with real-world success. He has been involved with multiple boards including the Gwinnett Leadership Forum, a cross-sector network of influencers and executive thought leaders within the community that communicates the essence and meaning of true leadership through compelling, impact-driven conversations. He has also served on the Advisory Board for Gwinnett Young Professionals and Just Right For Now.
