About Gilles

You lead a tech team in French-speaking Switzerland. You are competent, engaged, and yet something is not right: decisions don't stick, tensions resurface, the team is getting worn out.
You've tried processes, frameworks, reorganizations — but the real issue lies elsewhere.

This is where I come in.

An EPFL engineer by training, an ICF PCC certified coach, I spent 15 years in tech before dedicating myself to what truly makes a difference in organizations: the quality of leaders' presence and the clarity of governance systems.

Specifically, I support you in three areas:

1. COACHING FOR TECH EXECUTIVES AND MANAGERS
Individual paths for pivotal moments: starting a new role, restructuring, conflicts, loss of momentum. My approach integrates the body and the system, not just the mind.

2. ORGANIZATIONAL TRANSFORMATION
Diagnosis, design, and change management. I work on structure (governance, roles, decision-making processes) as well as culture (postures, team dynamics, trust).

3. SHARED GOVERNANCE
Deployment of distributed governance models (Holacracy, Sociocracy, hybrids) for organizations that want to gain decisional agility.

Types of deliverables: coaching programs (6-12 sessions), organizational diagnostics, leadership workshops, action-based training, 3-6 month transformation support.

What sets me apart: I'm not a coach who read a book on agility, nor an IT consultant who took a coaching course. I have both anchors — and it's at their intersection that I create value.
