Phill Robinson

Simultaneous with his appointment as the CEO of a large International Software Company, Phill was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2017. After the initial shock, Phill became a Parkinson’s activist focused on removing the disease’s stigma, to ensure Parkinson’s sufferers can openly discuss their disease without fear of discrimination or bias either socially or at work. #stirrednotshaking.

In 2021 Phill became the inaugural Chair of the Development Board for Cure Parkinson’s. Committed to work tirelessly with other Board members, the Charity and all its’ supporters, to raise £40m to urgently accelerate research.

Phill does this knowing that, due to their influence and track record, each £1 Cure Parkinson’s raise will catalyse a ratio 7:1 of further funding from their network of partners, so that they are able to research all drugs currently prioritised by the charities Committee of world leading Neuroscientists.
