About

Gillian Power spent two decades in technology leadership, most recently as CTO of a national civil rights law firm. She built systems, ran organizations, and navigated the gap between what institutions say they stand for and how they actually operate.

Along the way, she received a late-in-life neurodivergence diagnosis that reframed everything she thought she knew about her own leadership — and revealed that the fractures in her path were the source of her most distinctive capability: seeing the decisive point that others miss.

The Practice

The Crux is the practice that emerged from that convergence. It works with mission-driven organizations and their leaders to find the crux — the precise point where mission and reality diverge — and create the conditions for alignment.

The work draws on executive diagnostic methodology, AI and technology fluency, contemplative practice rooted in Vedic tradition, and the hard-won knowledge that the most important transformations happen not when things are comfortable, but when they can no longer be avoided.

Credentials

Gillian holds a Master of Technology and an MBA, with deep operational experience across legal technology, organizational development, and institutional change. Her career spans executive leadership roles where she led AI adoption, built technology infrastructure, and navigated the complex intersection of mission-driven purpose and operational reality.

She is a certified Reiki practitioner and student of Vedic tradition, bringing contemplative precision to work that most consultants approach with strategy alone.
