Nick Tzitzon

Hero cultures don’t work. Effective servant leadership is about shining the spotlight on your team, giving them the room to lead, and standing behind them to face adversity together. Our speaker has learned from personal experience that this formula is the foundation for trust, scale, and sustainable success. Tzitzon has led from the back in top companies like SAP and ServiceNow, each of which experienced transformational growth during his tenure. In this engaging conversation, Nick will share how to spread empowerment across an organization, how to grow new leaders, and how to develop a well-balanced culture that is serious without taking itself too seriously.

There’s often a disconnect between people at the top and the teams trying to follow them. At a time when competition is more intense and employee attrition is high, it has never been more important to shatter the mythology around C-level engagement and decision-making. Nick Tzitzon has worked in politics, government, and business for nearly three decades. In this insightful discussion, he shares stories about executive leadership and how to leverage power and influence for progress. He’ll share actionable tips to understand the mindset of senior leaders, how to engage them effectively, and how to avoid the mistakes that people often make when operating at the highest levels. 

Despite bumper sticker wisdom to the contrary, strategy and culture are equal underpinnings to build winning teams. In this ever-changing economic environment, strategy can’t be developed in a vacuum by the few in a proverbial ivory tower. And culture is much more than a glossy mission statement. Nick Tzitzon joined ServiceNow right as the COVID-19 pandemic hit. As Chief Strategy and Corporate Affairs Officer, Nick is instrumental in helping the company navigate hybrid work, social unrest, global conflicts, macro crosswinds (what else did we miss from 2020-2023?)—all while ensuring fast growth and profitability. In this enlightening talk, Nick will share how to create a resilient strategy—one that involves input from a diverse group of stakeholders, creates clear choice points, and stimulates the culture to engage in continuous discussion about how to go beyond expectations.
