Phillips graduated from Morehouse College, and holds graduate degrees from MIT and Stanford.[2] Before academia, he worked at a family electronics manufacturing firm, which fueled his interest in business. From 1998 to 2011, he was professor at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
Phillips was born on Andrews Air Force Base, outside of Washington D.C. Because his father was in the military, the family moved several times during Phillips' childhood.
He was married to fellow Columbia Business School professor Kathy Phillips from August 1999 until her death in January 2020.[3]
