Jean Gehring, Founder & Principal Consultant

Jean Gehring Advisory

I bridge the gap between business and IT to lead enterprise-wide transformation, modernization, and value creation. Partnering closely with C-level executives and architecture teams, I design agile, scalable operating models and architectures that drive growth, enable data-driven decision-making, and deliver measurable business outcomes.

With proven success across Fortune 500 and global organizations, I’ve led transformational programs that modernize legacy environments, elevate governance, and align technology with strategic priorities—especially in highly regulated industries. My deep boardroom experience spans public, private, and nonprofit sectors, where I advise on corporate governance, fiduciary oversight, CEO succession, and how to navigate disruption.

Passionate about making EA a true business enabler, I work with organizations reset operating models, optimize engagement strategies, and establish pragmatic, agile governance. I’m known for cultivating accountable, high-performing teams and creating architecture functions that are practical, impactful, and future-ready.

I’m fortunate to be recognized as a thought leader, author, researcher, and keynote speaker and deeply involved in advancing the EA profession. Past President of the Federation of Enterprise Architecture Professional Organizations (FEAPO) I also served on Penn State’s Center for Enterprise Architecture Board and am actively engage with the Chief Architect Network (CAN) and Women in Architecture (WIA).

Respected for integrity, clarity, and influence, I bring a collaborative and independent voice to the executive table—helping organizations lead with confidence and achieve sustainable success in dynamic markets.
