Llewellyn Christian
Founder & Chief Executive Officer
Llewellyn Christian is a technology executive and enterprise systems architect with more than 25 years of experience building and operating large-scale infrastructure across global technology leaders including Meta, Google, Apple, Ariba, and Coupa.
He is the founder of ODE (Operating Decision Engine), a unified AI-native enterprise platform designed to streamline procurement, program management, compliance, and operational intelligence into a single decision layer. ODE was architected from first principles to eliminate fragmented SaaS tool stacks and replace them with an integrated, automation-driven operating system for modern organizations.
Llewellyn's career spans global data center operations, AI infrastructure, enterprise procurement transformation, asset lifecycle automation, and PMO execution. He has managed over $100M in procurement spend, led 50+ global infrastructure programs, and delivered measurable enterprise value exceeding $200M through strategic optimization and automation initiatives.
In parallel with his enterprise leadership, he founded SOL: Sound of Life Media, a creator-driven multimedia platform launched in December 2023, focused on streaming, community engagement, and cultural storytelling. His background uniquely bridges enterprise systems engineering and media innovation — a rare combination that informs his approach to building scalable, human-centered technology platforms.
Llewellyn holds a degree from the University of San Francisco and has completed advanced executive and AI studies through MIT Professional Education. He is also certified in AI systems and enterprise asset management.
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he is focused on building long-term enterprise infrastructure that integrates artificial intelligence, automation, and operational governance into a unified framework for modern businesses.
