About Philip Hillman
UX Manager at Google
I'm a Design and Product Leader with over 25 years in user experience (UX) and product design and over 12 years leading the design organisations behind them.
I build design functions from the ground up. At Credit Suisse I created the bank's first dedicated, centralised, in-house UX function, growing it from zero to 17 and designing its entire operating model. I also bring operational structure and rigour to established ones, most recently leading design for a ~$15bn+ YouTube advertising product portfolio at Google.
I operate fluently from setting strategy and vision through to shipping and optimising product, with a service-design mindset and a career-long thread of harnessing AI in service of user and business goals. I excel in complex, highly regulated problem spaces, and bring an evidence-driven, research-led approach that delivers design solutions that create measurable commercial impact.
I've worked across financial services, adtech, government, e-commerce, and enterprise platforms, and I'm equally at home moving fast in a scale-up or building rigorous structure in a global enterprise. Previously Head of UX Research & Design at Credit Suisse and Senior UX Design Lead & Manager at Amazon, with earlier roles including Tesco, Accenture and Barclays.

“Philip is a great listener and thoughtful connector. I spoke with him about being new to the US and considering an industry change, and found his remarks insightful and motivating. Philip seeks to build bridges between siloed worlds, and his commitment to being an effective mentor is inspiring. Thanks Philip.”
“Although I never got the privilege of meeting Philip personally because of time zone issues, his detailed advice via email has been incredibly helpful to me. His responses were quick, thoughtful and thorough. All of the advice he gave me was practical and it made me feel like he was rooting for me to succeed - a valuable quality in a mentor!”
