Welcome to the FMForward podcast and a mini series called FM Stories. The journey into the facilities management profession is rarely direct and incredibly varied. But we recently sat down to talk with four of our experienced members to understand how they found themselves in their current positions, what have they learned, what they would changed, and what advice they have for those that are coming up in the ranks. Each interview is heartfelt and incredibly authentic and we are so happy to share their stories with you. But first, let’s hear from one of our supporters.
This week we sat down with Phil Donahue, Senior Manager of Corporate Support Services at Staples Incorporated.

Phil came to facilities by way of the manufacturing floor at Polaroid. He built his career on maximizing the opportunities that were available within Polaroid with internal job postings and never being afraid of trying something new and being willing to do the work that others didn't want to do.
