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 members benefit from a rich knowledge base and network designed to bolster their leadership in navigating the highest levels of business and design.
