John Gillis, Ed.D.

Executive Consultant,
Leadership

Every day I am driven to help leaders and teams succeed together. I bring enthusiasm and joy to my clients by offering experiential leadership development through business simulations. As an experienced management consultant, I have a keen focus on leadership excellence, change management and delivering strategic business value.

Throughout my professional journey I have supported leadership initiatives for organizations such as American Express, Best Buy, Conagra, Danaher, Dell Technologies, DuPont, eBay, FEMA, McKinsey, PayPal, State of Texas,

Verizon, and Yum! Brands.

I have been a Certified Management Consultant for IBM’s Strategic Change and Business Transformation solution groups, a Human Performance Management Consultant for Accenture, a Performance Consultant for Convergys, the Performance Consultant Practice Leader at Element K, and Leadership Products for Center for Creative Leadership.

Giving back to the community is critical for me. I share some of my best practices in my bestselling co-authored book: Powerhouse: 13 Teamwork Tactics that Build Excellence and Unrivaled Success. I am an author, speaker, & moderator at organizations such as Human Capital Media, International Society for Performance Improvement (ISPI), American Society for Training & Development (ASTD), and Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR).

I hold an Ed.D. from the Wharton Executive Education & Graduate School of Education- Chief Learning Officer program at the University of Pennsylvania, an MBA from Baylor University, and a B.A. from the University of Texas in Psychology.

I can’t wait to build powerhouse leaders and teams with you!
