Delia Grenville, Ph.D., is a business consultant, executive coach, and former Fortune 100 leader. A former COO at Intel and Senior Research Scientist at Oracle, Delia advises C-suite leaders and senior teams on strategy, transformation, and performance — helping them build organizations that don't just plan change but carry it through.
Delia brings more than two decades of experience at the intersection of technology, operations, and human systems. At Intel, she served in progressive executive roles over 17 years — culminating as COO for Fab Materials Supply Chain, where she directed a $3.5 billion global operation spanning supply chain, multi-billion R&D, and product development lifecycle to support enterprise-wide transformation. At Oracle Labs, she served as a principal investigator in conversational AI, natural language processing, and mobile user interfaces — research that was years ahead of its time and forms the analytical foundation she brings to leadership today.
Trusted by leaders at Google, Intel, Oracle, Disney, NASA, MIT, Harvard Kennedy School, Stanford, Kaiser Permanente, BBC, Comcast, Whirlpool, and Lenovo — across technology, healthcare, academia, media, and government.
Through her firm, Slyn Consulting, Delia works with C-level leaders and senior teams to strengthen alignment, sharpen execution, and scale sustainably. She is a certified coach, a board-certified director (Kellogg School of Management), and host of To Live List®, a podcast exploring leadership, life transitions, and the choices that shape both.
Delia lives in Portland, Oregon.
