Mordecai

Mordecai is a senior global executive recognised for translating innovation into complex organisations, shaping company-level direction, and delivering commercial performance across multiple sectors and markets. Her career spans Fortune 500s, high-growth tech, and global enterprises ($20B+), where she has been trusted by boards and C-suites to bring clarity, inclusion, and decisive leadership to periods of transformation, expansion, and disruption. She is known for cutting through noise across stakeholders and hype to translate the cultural, technological, and behavioural shifts that deliver strategic advantage and long-term business value.

She has held executive roles across the US, UK, APAC, and EMEA, including leading Hyundai’s global innovation and future-growth function, where she drove YOY revenue growth through innovation, expanded operations internationally, and established new profit-driving models during a year of significant market contraction. Her remit spanned financial performance, new business models, mobility futures, digital transformation, and industry-defining partnerships and was supported by board-level responsibility and a mandate to shape long-range organisational direction. She also established the Chief Innovation Officer practice at Gartner, and her earlier leadership includes building and running her own consultancy, guiding multinational brands, and serving in senior positions across emerging technology, content, and consumer industries.

Today, Mordecai advises global enterprises c-suites to scale-ups on executive-level strategy, innovation organisational design, operating models, and future-market positioning. She writes and speaks internationally on leadership, emerging tech (AI), culture, and the realities of running modern organisations. Over the last year, she expanded her scope and purpose beyond the boardroom, becoming a death doula - work that informs her early-stage venture aimed at disrupting the global death-care services market. Her credo, Hope via Disruption, anchors a career defined by breadth, depth, and a relentless drive to build companies that are sharper, stronger, and prepared for what’s next.
