Jean-François Davignon

Thinker | Coach | AI Integrator

I am a seasoned technology leader and problem solver dedicated to building high-performing teams through Lean and Agile methodologies. With over three decades of experience spanning consumer products, embedded software, and enterprise architecture, I blend deep technical expertise with a people-first leadership philosophy.

Throughout my career—including foundational roles at Corel, COAST, and an impactful 18-year journey at InGenius Software—I have architected complex enterprise solutions and successfully led R&D, Professional Services, and cross-functional technical teams. Following my time as Director of Professional Services at Upland Software, I founded JFDavignon.Solutions, where I focus on strategic coaching, technical leadership, and practical AI integration.

I believe that the best software is thoughtfully designed, and the best teams are built on clear communication, continuous learning, and mutual respect. Whether I’m navigating the cutting edge of AI, troubleshooting complex cloud infrastructure, or mentoring the next generation of engineers, my goal remains the same: solving tough problems by putting people first.
