Hans Gillior is Head of Advisory+ at the Institute for Digital Transformation, where he leads the Institute’s executive advisory work and helps organizations turn transformation strategy into clear priorities, executable roadmaps, stronger operating models, and measurable business value.
With more than 20 years of experience across Europe, the United States, and Asia, Hans has advised boards, CIOs, and senior executives through complex digital, business, and organizational transformation. His experience spans manufacturing, energy, financial services, the public sector, higher education, green technology, and renewable energy.
Hans specializes in digital and AI strategy, operating models, business architecture, portfolio and performance management, governance, leadership, and organizational capability. His work is focused on helping leadership teams reduce transformation risk, accelerate time to value, and build organizations that are more resilient and better prepared for continuous change.
Earlier in his career, Hans worked in management consulting with Capgemini Consulting before joining Nordea Bank, where he held senior roles in IT Service Management, planning, performance management, strategy, and governance. He later led complex transformation programs through Sofigate Consulting and has since founded and scaled advisory businesses focused on transformation, leadership, governance, and value creation.
Hans is also the creator of the GooDIGITAL frameworks and an active researcher and thought leader in digital transformation, agile governance, innovation, leadership, and emerging business models. His approach combines structured strategic thinking with a strong focus on people, execution, and sustainable results.
As Head of Advisory+, Hans helps shape the Institute’s advisory methodology, executive engagement, and delivery approach, ensuring that clients move beyond transformation activity toward decisions and actions that produce measurable outcomes.
