Michele Brissoni 🚀
Tech Advisor & Fractional CTO | Board-Level Strategist | Inventor of SW Craftsmanship Dojo®, Unicorns’ Ecosystem™ & BOKaRy | Fighting IT Mediocracy 🦄
Professional Summary
I am a forward-thinking Tech Advisor, Fractional CTO, and Board-Level Strategist with over two decades of experience helping Fortune 500 enterprises, PE/VC funds, and scale-ups move beyond “by-the-book” transformations into true digital evolution.
I founded BriX Consulting to pioneer three frameworks now trusted worldwide:
👉 📈 BOKaRy (Behavioral-OKR) — governance linking vision → behaviors → delivery, giving boards and CFOs ROI clarity and resilience. Validated at IBM CIO, where it enabled CEO-level orchestration that coincided with stock growth from $90 → $250+.
👉 🦄 Unicorns’ Ecosystem™ — the holistic operating system that dismantles mediocracy (the de-facto IT standard), reignites engagement, and delivers measurable ROI. Powers corporate spin-outs and advanced software venture studios.
👉 🥋 SW Craftsmanship Dojo® — behavior-engineered continuous active learning, practiced by 100k+ developers worldwide, raising socio-technical maturity by up to 800%.
My work has been recognized by investors, boards, and industry leaders for driving:
👉 Cultural turnarounds that end burnout and disengagement.
👉 Elite DORA performance and double-digit ROI improvements.
👉 Scalable governance models validated by PwC auditors.
👉 The evolution of engineering maturity in Fortune 500 IT organizations and venture studio ecosystems.
I also host the Forge 🔥 of Unicorns Podcast, where 130+ CEOs and investors — including backers of Uber, Airbnb, and SpaceX — share insights on digital excellence and portfolio value creation.
☎️ Currently open to advisory, fractional CTO, or NED roles to help boards, PE/VC funds, and leadership teams unlock elite performance at scale.

Awards 🏆
I am particularly proud to have received the prestigious IBM CIO Challenge coin as a recognition of my achievements as a DevOps Leader. The IBM CIO Challenge Coin is a recognition of excellence. It is awarded to IBMers who have demonstrated outstanding performance and have made a significant contribution to the organization.
Two of my notable contributions that led to this award are:
- Introducing the OKR technique to IBM CIO, which improved mission alignment and clarity of purpose across the organization.
- Developing and successfully deploying "The - Ecosystem" as an enterprise transformation platform based on a dojo model.
These initiatives helped elevate IBM teams' performance level to the elite standard set by the DORA model.
