Ivan Spencer-Phillips
Head of Technology
Ivan is a director of Astaris and handles overall technical direction for the business. He is ultimately responsible for the technology that Astaris uses and deploys to customers.
His experience goes back over 25 years, starting with Windows Server NT4 and has progressed through all iterations of Microsoft operating systems. Specialisms have expanded to include Cisco networking, Meraki, Email defence and many security systems and tools. Through Ivan’s efforts and experience Astaris has grown its Managed IT Services business year on year, with customers staying with Astaris for many years.
Central to what Ivan does is to put customers at the heart of what Astaris does. Not only does this mean translation from tech-speak into plain English but it also involves ensuring that technology helps drive and propel customers forward, rather than being a hindrance to those businesses.
Sacha Spencer-Phillips
Commercial Director
Sacha Spencer-Phillips is commerical director of Astaris and responsible for strategic direction, vision, growth and performance of Astaris.
As a seasoned professional with 20 years experience in marketing and business management, Sacha’s strengths lay in marketing, finance, human resources, people management and personal development. There is nothing more satisfying for Sacha than nurturing a young member of staff, training and developing their knowledge and watching them grow both personally and professionally to become a unique and valued member of the Astaris team.
Sacha’s working career spans many industries, giving her a rounded experience in various environments. Her marketing career took root back in 1999 whilst working for a fine wine merchant in London, before taking flight to Oz to work for a marketing company where she worked on accounts including Vodafone, Chubb, Chupa Chups and the launch of Microsoft Xbox nationally.
When Sacha made the move back to the UK she started working as Marketing Manager for a cosmetic brand, when after 5 years her desire to start her own company became her focus. In 2009 she started a marketing business offering business to consumer and business to business marketing.
In 2013 in realisation of a long held dream, she forged a partnership with Ivan Spencer-Phillips and Astaris was born. With Ivan’s 25 years’ experience of working in IT, he has all the technical knowledge and experience while Sacha puts a wealth of experience in marketing and business management into running the administrative side of things. Astaris has grown 20% year on year since conception which is testament to the dedication and loyalty of an amazing team, and unyielding focus and desire to succeed.
