Gabriel Philipson
I've Led the Strategy and Done the Work.
20 years leading enterprise technology at the executive level. ERP strategy, platform modernization, digital transformation. I've built and led teams, owned roadmaps, and partnered with the C-suite across financial services, retail, aviation, and ecommerce. I also build AI systems. This site documents both sides of that.
By the numbers
What I do
End-to-end technology leadership
From ERP strategy through implementation, integration, and platform modernization. With 20 years of hands-on experience across finance, retail, aviation, and ecommerce, leading both onshore and offshore delivery teams.
AI / POC Lab
Not just aware of AI. Using it.
The AI/POC Lab documents what I've actually built — working systems, not opinions about what AI can do. A job search agent that tracks an active pipeline of applications across multiple platforms. A college decision tool built for a real family navigating 12 schools. A full-stack ecommerce platform built with Claude Code from the ground up. More in progress.
