Background

About Xavier Gillon

I am a business & technology executive, strategist. I am a creative technology leader with 20+ years leveraging technology leadership to create strategies, automate & optimize processes. I love rolling up my sleeves & figuring out ways to offer my assistance in a way that has a measurable impact. My strengths are ideation, patience, listening, quickly learning and mastering new domains. I can help technology teams manage complexity, coordinate technology effectively and build capacity. I can help CEO's build and execute technology plans that produce their vision. I can help CFO's see their business clearly and change technology expenses into strategic investments. I can help CMO's build a brand, making changes quickly, backed by solid analytics. I can't just snap my fingers and hope things happen, but by Systems Thinking I can help an organization take a realistic look at the differences between their current reality and it goals using technology road maps and technology standards to evolve the enterprise. I can help the marking team exploit social media and accurately attribute marketing spending. I use thinking tools to refine and develop business and technology vision along different time horizons, identify constraints that can hold an organization back and resources required to execute. My diverse consulting background makes me pliable and insightful to adapt to situations while bringing to bear a breadth of knowledge from many domains for enterprise-wide modernization. I know the art/science of designing highly-valued offers, which helps me socialize plans and collaborate with peers and stakeholders. I also value leading by example, working directly with teams to build powerful technology organizations, increasing their autonomy and professionalism.
