Philip O'Hara is the Chief Executive Officer and founder of Directory One. In 1981, he moved to Houston from Louisville, Kentucky to establish a career as a yellow pages advertising consultant. For sixteen years he assisted small business owners who wanted to generate leads using Yellow Pages Advertising.
In 1996, Philip formed a team to help develop his Internet site for his yellow pages consulting business, and quickly found clients were making the switch from pages advertising, such as Thomas Register and Martindale-Hubbell directories to Yahoo and other search engines.
When his clients made the shift, they still needed advice on how to build websites. Eager to assist his loyal customer base with all of their advertising needs, Philip founded Directory One Inc.
