We are celebrating LaTonya Phillips, our president and CEO, today for being named one of Greenville Business Magazine’s Women in Business honorees for 2025.
From the Magazine Piece:
LaTonya V. Phillips is excited to serve her community by tackling the housing crisis and providing families with safe, affordable homeownership. Her early career was in health care, which instilled in her a deep capacity for care and empathy – crucial qualities in understanding the diverse situations of the families she serves at Habitat for Humanity. Health care’s patient-centered and diverse environment taught her to acknowledge and learn from differences, ensuring fair and equitable support, much like her ongoing commitment to providing the same level of care to all.
What’s the best advice you have received in business that you wish to pass on to our readers?
The most impactful advice I’ve heard is that while obstacles are guaranteed, it’s how you handle them – the character you demonstrate – that truly defines your success, shapes your leadership, and dictates the respect you receive.
