Gordon joined One Page Solutions®, LLC in 2019 as a Principle Consultant and Master OGSP® facilitator. His prior experience includes leadership roles in multiple industries: commercial banking, biotechnology, consumer products, and for the last 22 years, healthcare information technology. Gordon was introduced to One Page Solutions® as a client and worked with Harry Kangis on the first One Page Strategic Plan® development and implementation at TransUnion Healthcare. Harry and the OGSP® process were so effective at creating a focused, clear and actionable 3-year strategic plan that Gordon decided to join the One Page Solutions Team to bring the OGSP® process to other companies.
Prior to joining One Page Solutions®, LLC, Gordon was Senior Director of Planning at TransUnion Healthcare. In addition to leading the OGSP® process, he led the development of processes and tools to create new product and market business cases, make go-to-market/distribution decisions, and establish and track key business performance metrics. He also coached product management and other team members on the use of the tools.
Gordon started his career in middle market commercial banking with Bank of America in southern California and subsequently held financial and manufacturing leadership roles at Hybritech, a monoclonal antibody-based biotechnology subsidiary of Eli Lilly and Company. After moving to Colorado, Gordon became COO of Kryptonics, a polyurethane consumer and industrial products manufacturer.
In 1997 Gordon joined HBO & Company and started a 22-year stint in healthcare IT. The company, which was acquired by McKesson Corp. in 1999, provided healthcare information technology products to hospitals, physician practices and other healthcare provider and payer organizations. Gordon progressed through roles including VP of Product Marketing, VP of Product Management, Division VP of Services Sales and Program Management in the western US, and VP of Clinical Systems Upgrades. Between his time at McKesson and TransUnion, Gordon held a general manager role in The TriZetto Group’s large account management organization and successfully turned around the seriously troubled relationship with one of the company’s largest customers.
His varied career and his role as a One Page Solutions client enable Gordon to draw upon a wide range of business functional and leadership understanding and also to facilitate the OGSP® process with a personal appreciation of the client’s point of view and experience.
Gordon has a BA degree in physics from Albion College and an MBA from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. He is a volunteer business advisor to Discover Pathwaze, a personal aptitude assessment and career counseling business and has been a guest instructor in a product strategy course at the University of Colorado’s Leeds School of Business.
Gordon is married to Nancy Sims, a speech-language pathologist. They have two grown children and live in Superior, Colorado.
