Founding background

Phillip Coomes, MBA

Founder & Managing Partner

AdAstra was built from 17+ years of finance leadership across environments most advisors have never seen — a $1.2B climate infrastructure project, four consolidated nonprofit entities, Fortune 500 international audit, and NATO-scale government finance. The founding insight was simple: growth-stage companies consistently face the same financial infrastructure problems, and consistently lack access to senior operational expertise that can actually fix them.
