Phil Noble

Phil Noble, Jr. (born May 17, 1951, Greenville, South Carolina) is an American entrepreneur and speaker in technology and the civic sector.

Growing up in Anniston, Alabama, Noble’s father, J. Phillips Noble, a Presbyterian Minister, was involved in the civil rights movement during Gov. George Wallace’s tenure as Alabama governor. FBI files indicate Noble’s father was a top target of the Alabama Ku Klux Klan.

After graduating from Tennessee Military Institute in 1969, Noble attended several colleges and universities, graduating from Birmingham-Southern College in 1974.

Since becoming involved in politics as a young child in John F. Kennedy’s 1960 presidential campaign, Noble has started two businesses, Phil Noble and Associates and PoliticsOnline, working with over 350 public affairs, civic, corporate, and political clients in over 40 countries, helping to elect heads of state in 25 countries.

After retiring from campaign politics in the 1990s, Noble began focusing on developing major interactive civic engagement technology projects with clients such as the BBC, European Union, United Nations, Amnesty International, and The Aspen Institute. Noble also authored ‘Guide to Internet and Politics,’ thought to be the first guide of its kind in the industry.

For his work, in 2001, Noble was chosen as a Resident Fellow of the Harvard Institute of Politics of the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
