About me
Stephen Lefebvre joined Gartner in 2016 and is a VP and Executive Partner with Executive Programs (ExP). Stephen provides Chief Information Officers (CIOs) and senior technology leaders, across Canada, with a sounding board to work through complex situations. Through 1on1’s and workshops he combines Gartner research with a fun and pragmatic approach to de-risk, de-cost, and shorten the time-to-value of initiatives for his clients. With 30 years of experience, Stephen led the Canadian IT operations for Devon Energy, and was the head of their North American IT Strategy and Planning office. In addition to various large project and multi-jurisdictional delivery roles, Stephen also led an international Leadership Development Practice, EMPO, Enterprise Change Management, Business Relationship Management, and executed on Corporate Acquisition & Divestitures. He also served on the boards of the CIO Association and Evanta.
Stephen’s leadership purpose is to “use curiosity and joy to help others step into the future”. He is creative, empathetic, and practical, and as a student of leadership he is fascinated by the how. He enjoys being a guest lecturer at the Haskayne School of business. Situated in the foothills of the Rockies, you can often find him in his shop fabricating something interesting.
