Rooted in the belief that design is a transformative force, DXC amplifies the impact of design leadership in shaping the future of global business. In a time of rapid technological and socioeconomic change, businesses face unprecedented challenges to stay relevant. We believe design executives are essential to driving the success of the next generation of companies.
We empower exceptional design leaders—global Heads of Design, Chief Design Officers, and VPs of Design—who have the vision and expertise to drive transformative change, champion human-centered innovation, and redefine how organizations advance human progress in the digital age.
At DXC, we are committed to elevating the Chief Design Officer role to the highest levels of influence in business and society. Our vision is to create businesses that not only adapt to change but actively shape it—ensuring innovation uplifts humanity, fosters equity, and delivers short- and long-term value. By harnessing the collective expertise of our community, we align technology and human values to drive meaningful progress.
We empower senior design executives to thrive in high-stakes environments, amplifying their impact as industry leaders. Through peer collaboration, cutting-edge research, and strategic visibility, we accelerate learning, share best practices, and raise the profile of design leadership globally.
We create cross-industry opportunities for design executives to engage directly with C-suite leaders, board directors, and business visionaries through private, candid discussions and programs delivered both online and in person. These interactions provide actionable insights and pathways to elevate leadership and business performance.
DXC is committed to the success of its members, offering programs tailored for the most influential design executives at leading companies. Our aim is to propel and sustain more design executives into roles as C-level leaders, board members, advisors, and CEOs—driving transformative business outcomes, enhancing brands, and embedding design as a core value within organizations.
We represent the world's foremost design executives, individuals who bring decades of wisdom and demonstrated success. Our members have hands-on experience across diverse industries at the world's most influential companies, from consumer goods to enterprise software, healthcare to automotive, aviation to entertainment, finance to retail. Their exceptional track records as designers, leaders, and executives form the foundation of our worldview and vision for impact.
Our members are a distinguished group of senior design executives representing decades of leadership experience and success across industries. From consumer goods to enterprise software, healthcare to automotive, aviation to entertainment, finance to retail, our members lead transformative efforts at companies that shape the global economy.
DXC connects these leaders to a trusted, confidential network, offering access to vital business intelligence and a curated roster of industry advisors, including CEOs, CFOs, board members, and subject matter experts. Together, we foster a dynamic exchange of ideas that elevates the role of design and enhances organizational impact.
We actively reach across the boardroom to enrich the relationship between design and business leaders. We regularly engage senior business executives and partners to broaden our Council's perspectives in understanding the priorities of CEOs, Boards and trends in the market. From board members and venture capitalists to CFOs, we create new avenues for design and business leaders to unite in a common forum focused on improving the state of business and society.
DXC was born from a vision to elevate the role of design in business leadership. Founded in 2022 by Gordon Ching, a Canadian-born, San Francisco-based design leader and graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design, DXC sprouted from a thesis that studied the effectiveness of Chief Design Officers and design executives. What began as an academic pursuit rapidly evolved into a vibrant dinner club and design executive community. Under Gordon's leadership, DXC has grown significantly into a trusted brand, attracting key figures in corporate design leadership and earning the respect of business executives, corporate board networks, and business media.
Today, DXC is proud to have cultivated a membership of senior executives from global multinational corporations and high-growth tech startups, including executives and industry titans from companies like Adobe, Boeing, Capital One, CNN, Intuit, JPMorgan Chase, Target, Warner Music Group, and Workday. Our work has been featured on some of the biggest stages in business and design including Figma's Config and Fortune's Brainstorm Design conference.
