Joss Gillet
Founder, Kompunik · Two decades building and leading teams
Founder of Kompunik. Over twenty years building and leading high-performing teams across the UK, India and France — now helping others find their own direction.
About
Joss is the founder of Kompunik, a multilingual learning platform about soft skills and career-orientation. Across twenty years in both global corporations and start-ups, he has built and led teams in the UK, India and France, reporting to stakeholders from the US, Mexico, Brazil to China, Japan, Australia and Africa. Twice he joined a business at its earliest stage — a handful of inspired people — and left a decade later with a 30-to-50-strong organisation, products performing in their markets, and recurring revenues more than doubled. Along the way he specialised in building software, data and AI-driven products that industry leaders in the telecom and agriculture sectors rely on. That experience — hiring, motivating and retaining the people who make it happen — is what Kompunik is built to pass on.
Experience
Two decades spent hiring, motivating and retaining high performers — and a career change of his own — give Joss first-hand insight into the human skills that careers actually turn on.
