While a Particle Physicist by education, Patrick Deglon is an accomplished
business professional with a passion and the credentials to help companies
lead their industries in the transition to the New Economy. The leaders at The
World Economic Forum in Davos proclaimed that we are transitioning
through the 4th
industrial revolution where self-learning machines, Internet
of Things devices, and Internet services have become critical for the
companies’ competitiveness. At CERN, Patrick studied the creation of the
Universe. Later, as a business leader, he raised the bar in Analytics at leading
edge companies such as eBay and Motorola Mobility. With 18 years of
experience driving operation optimization and market share growth for corporations, he is a leading mind
at successfully applying advanced technologies to businesses.
Patrick began his formal business career at eBay International in Switzerland, where he worked with the
senior leadership team to build a fruitful and profitable growth strategy driven by business insights. His
impact on the P&L was rewarded with fast-track promotions and larger responsibilities, first within the
entire European organization, and later within the global Finance organization. Notably, he led the EU
Investment Analytics team and was the Director of the Global Internet Marketing Analytics organization.
He was recruited by Google in 2013 to guide the adoption of Google technologies by Motorola Mobility.
Patrick was subsequently tasked with the challenge of leading a major technology area. He is recognized
as having raised the bar in Analytics within the company. He proactively proposed and organized three
global summits, and ultimately was rewarded with an elevation to Senior Director of Engineering. He
clearly has mastered the art of bringing insight and simplicity to ambiguity.
Today Patrick is the Founder of Deglon Consulting, a practice applying his internet vision and advanced
analytical tools to businesses. He has an insatiable appetite to never settle for the second position for his
clients within their industries.
Patrick is Governance Fellow accredited with The National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD), and
active at both the national level and with the Florida Chapter. His leadership Board roles included Science
Faculty Council Chairman at the University of Geneva, and several academic and community Board
engagements. He is also an Advisory Board Member at the internet based Bottles Waiting. Recently, he
joined the board of the Gluten Intolerance Group of North America. Patrick is acknowledged for his sound
mentoring of talented individuals, many of whom have gone on to become successful start-up CEO’s.
Patrick has a strong belief that in this New Economy age we are all ubiquitously and continuously
connected to internet, for the better or the worse. His ability to envision the next chapters of this
revolution, coupled with his strong technology underpinning and practical sense, enable him to apply this
expertise to accelerate the growth for corporations.
Patrick earned his Ph.D. in Particle Physics from the University of Geneva, Switzerland. He is fluent in
English and French. During his Ph.D. he co-authored 138 scientific publications at CERN. Patrick is also the
recipient of numerous awards for his advancements of technology with a human touch. His personal
interests include children’s education and well-being, leading to the publication of a book series on the
subject. He resides in Sarasota, Florida, with his wife and his two sons.
