Phil Ingram is the Senior Trade Commissioner, Austrade, and Deputy Consul-General (Commercial) at the Australian Consulate-General in Hong Kong.

Phil’s career has spanned both the public and private sectors, with over 20 years living and working in East Asia. Much of his career has devoted to helping Australian businesses, in all kinds of industries, to do business in East Asian markets.

Phil has assisted hundreds of Australian companies in all sectors with market entry and business expansion in East Asian markets.  Phil’s vast experience has allowed him to understand the complexities and opportunities surrounding Asia’s somewhat daunting and dynamic markets.  He currently manages a team of 12 business savvy bilingual marketing staff in Hong Kong and Macau who, like him, are fanatical about helping Australian businesses succeed in overseas markets.

Directly prior to this he was the Regional Senior Trade Commissioner for ASEAN (East) based in the Philippines, also covering Vietnam and Guam (2003-2007). Previous positions have included Senior Trade Commissioner to Pakistan & Afghanistan (2000-2002) and Trade Commissioner in Shanghai (1996-1999). He has also held short term positions as Austrade State Manager Western Australia and Officer assisting the Austrade Executive General Manager for Australia and the Pacific.
