Todd Phillips
Associate Managing Director
Human Resources

As Associate Managing Director in Human Resources, Todd Phillips has spent countless hours assisting leaders across campus in dealing with sensitive employee issues. His careful, methodical and conscientious work contributes to his vigilance in bringing issues to resolution that are to the benefit of the university and that honor the dignity of the employee. He works with his supervisor and other managers within the department to develop policies, procedures and efficiencies that add value and make Texas Tech an employer of choice. He is a critical member of the departmental management team, offering strategic vision and practical advice as the department adds new processes, and responds to regulatory changes. In addition, this year, he and his team were short staffed for a majority of the year due to turnover and staff on medical leave. Despite being significantly short staffed during peak time periods, he led his team in carrying out all business operations as normal without an impact on customer service. This could not have been accomplished without the guidance, support, and motivation he provided to his staff during this busy time. Overall, Todd's experience, leadership, and numerous contributions to the university make him an asset to Texas Tech.
