About Gillian Davis
Gillian Davis, a transformational leadership expert and founder of OverTime Leader, a leadership and management agency that supports leaders to navigate the complexity and uncertainty that comes with working in a global fast-moving organization – like TaskRabbit, Spotify, and Wetransfer. Her team specializes in helping leaders shape the right culture to deliver on their business strategy.
Before setting up her own business she was the right hand to both Wetransfer's CEO Gordon Willoughby and founder, Nalden –and drove core organizational initiatives that enabled them to scale strategically by building their leadership capabilities internally. Prior to that, she was Leadership Director at ustwo London, a leading-edge product development studio in Shoreditch where she was responsible for driving self-leadership and autonomy across its manager-less culture.
Before her time in Europe, Gillian began her career in her family’s Executive recruitment business based in Montreal, QC, who are most notable for recruiting three of Canada’s astronauts. After her father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2009, Gillian stepped up to run the business alongside her mother. It was at that time where she discovered the lack of practical leadership books available for newly appointed managers and created the solution by co-authoring “First Time Leader: Foundational Tools to Inspire and Enable Your Team” (Wiley 2014).
