For two decades, Philippe has created disruptive solutions that generated $7B in value for his employers and radically accelerated their customers’ business performance. At HP, he invented the original partner model that changed the future of how high-tech business is done. He also pioneered the first software-defined data center solution—AKA cloud computing. With a head for streamlining the intersection of business and IT and a heart for joint innovation with the C-suite, Philippe is well positioned to help enterprises be agile and optimally connected in the wake of change.

“Passion to create a culture of innovation that accomplishes amazingly difficult things”

This keen ability to link evolving technology to critical business shifts has enabled Philippe to make headway well beyond the supplier level. A trusted advisor to Global 100 companies, such as P&G, he’s advanced their strategic visions and innovation agendas. Inspired by the original “HP way” from his first job, he's been part of amazing outcomes from work environments with freedom for innovation. Constantly refining his ideas for on-demand computing and partner models, he feels fortunate to bring together and activate talented minds who can make what seems initially impossible, possible.

“Immersion is essential to finding global solutions”

When building or transforming businesses, Philippe is motivated by the challenge of quickly finding the path to success and activating others to see initiatives through. Whether investing years living and working in a new country or learning his customer’s point of view, Philippe is known for cultural assimilation. His deep experience in France, Germany, Japan, and the United States have also given him context and insights on how to design solutions with global appeal. Stemming from his European scientific education, which instilled his broad approach to problem-solving, and the influence of his entrepreneurial great grandfather, he seeks out the “white space” in today’s technology portfolio and then delves into creating new business out of thousands of data points.
