Phil Romans, President
A native of the mountain west, Phil spent the much of his career leading operations teams in high-tech and biotech companies across Idaho, Virginia, Japan, and California.
After earning his MBA from the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business, he sought an opportunity to apply his operational expertise to a hands-on, values-driven business. In 2020, he relocated to Bend and acquired North Cabinet Company, drawn to its reputation for craftsmanship and its potential for growth. Phil brings a strong background in program management, operations, and sales and operations planning, which he now applies to streamline processes and elevate the customer experience. He takes pride in supporting a highly skilled team and delivering exceptional results to clients across the West.
