In a move that underscores its global ambitions, Singapore-based Digile has appointed veteran technology executive John M. Hinshaw as a Strategic Advisor, signaling the company’s intent to compete at the highest levels of enterprise transformation.
Hinshaw’s resume reads like a tour of Fortune 100 boardrooms: Group COO at HSBC, EVP of Technology and Operations at HP, CIO at Boeing, and SVP at Verizon Wireless. With over three decades of experience navigating the front lines of digital transformation, he’s not just a name—he’s an operator.
Currently a board member for several public companies and part of ServiceNow’s Global Advisory Council, Hinshaw first connected with the Digile team during the ServiceNow Knowledge conference in Las Vegas, a meeting that set the stage for this high-impact partnership.
Why This Matters
Digile is one of the more quietly ambitious players in the AI and digital transformation arena, with deep platform expertise in ServiceNow, Salesforce, and Oracle. While many vendors offer tech solutions, Digile’s edge lies in its blend of technical depth, operational agility, and enterprise-scale thinking—a combination Hinshaw clearly values.
“What drew me to Digile was not just their deep platform capabilities… but their entrepreneurial mindset and agility,” said Hinshaw. “They’re positioned to help enterprises tackle both today’s operational complexities and tomorrow’s AI ambitions.”
What Hinshaw Brings to the Table
Let’s be clear: this is not a figurehead appointment. Hinshaw will play a hands-on role in shaping Digile’s global strategy across three critical fronts:
- Deepening Customer Value
Helping clients unlock long-term ROI from complex digital ecosystems. - Expanding Enterprise Partnerships
Strengthening ties with major platforms like ServiceNow and Oracle, while exploring co-innovation opportunities. - Exploring Next-Gen Capabilities
Identifying and guiding investments in AI, data platforms, and emerging tech—including quantum computing.
With Hinshaw’s history of leading multi-billion-dollar transformation efforts, his influence could significantly accelerate Digile’s positioning as a go-to partner for enterprise AI enablement.
Strategic Signal to the Market
Digile’s appointment of Hinshaw isn’t just about guidance—it’s about signaling intent. In a saturated digital transformation market filled with buzzwords and bloated PowerPoints, executive credibility matters. And few have as much transformation mileage as Hinshaw.
It’s also a smart play from a geographic perspective. With strong roots in Asia and expanding global reach, Digile is leveraging Hinshaw’s experience to scale more effectively in Western markets—particularly the U.S. and Europe, where digital initiatives increasingly hinge on tight integration across legacy and modern systems.
“John’s experience is unparalleled,” said Ravi Koka, CEO of Digile. “He understands both the complexity and opportunity in today’s enterprise technology landscape. We are honored to have him onboard.”
Bottom Line
Digile is playing a long game, and this move adds strategic weight at just the right time. With AI, automation, and enterprise platforms converging, the ability to guide clients through the maze of modernization is the new differentiator.
And as Hinshaw himself put it:
“Success will be measured not just by Digile’s growth—but by the long-term value it delivers to clients.”
With that kind of mindset—and now, that kind of advisor—Digile is one to watch.
