Sparring Partner for the
Next Big Thing ?

Decision Support with Lateral Thinking

When everybody around you is telling you something will be the next big thing, a multi-disciplinary second opinion can help avoid costly mistakes. Take the solar EV concept, for example. People think it's a great idea but that's because they don't do the math. Numbers about annual hours of sunshine don't apply to cars the way they do to buildings — cars are regularly parked under trees, in the shade and in garages. Even in direct sunlight, a car just doesn't have enough surface area to capture ample solar energy for a meaningful charge. Hey, your EV car battery is eight times the energy sink that your whole house is! And your house has a much bigger roof! Fact: just one minute attached to a Supercharger tops-up a solar EV more than a whole day in the sun ever will. So why bother?

The Theranos effect sees otherwise-smart people believing in a concept because all the others believe — so it must be true ! Who's going to tell you otherwise?

Well, we will…

Proven Expertise

Driving force behind eurybia is Phil McGee, an entrepreneur with over 30 years of executive-level experience in sales and general management in the technology sector. He held 3 different Vice President positions at NXP Semiconductors and has also held senior roles at Cadence Design Systems, i2 Technologies and Royal Philips. With $2B in combined revenue to his credit and having consistently driven 30% CAGR over the years, you can safely assume he earned his stripes.

What makes Phil rather unique as an advisor is a highly-unusual blend of technical and business acumen coupled with a lightning-quick analytical mind. Combine that with unrelenting curiosity and a healthy irreverence for commonly-held beliefs/structures and you have an ideal sparring partner for co-validating new technological and business ideas.

With both Bachelor and Master degrees in Electronic Engineering and several patents to his name, Phil's other job is as CEO & Founder of smartskills.tech — a full-service development bureau for Smart Home 'Skills' for Amazon's Alexa voice assistant. This hands-on role keeps him engaged in direct engineering so he stays abreast of upcoming Next Big Things.
