About Simone Orlowski-Gracz
I’m a Research, Experience Design, and Digital Transformation leader with 12+ years of experience helping organizations make better decisions and deliver with confidence in complex environments.I specialize in rebuilding and scaling research as an organizational capability, moving it from a reactive function into a trusted input to prioritization, strategy, and delivery. Across my career, I’ve led research, experience design, and content functions, working closely with product, engineering, and commercial leaders to restore clarity where signals are weak and trade-offs are hard.I bring academic rigor with a strong bias toward pragmatic outcomes. I’m most effective in organizations that are scaling, transforming, or navigating ambiguity where quality, trust, and decision-making matter as much as speed.
