IFS, the industrial AI software provider, has appointed Robi Gone as its new Chief Information Officer, following the retirement of Helena Nimmo. Gone will oversee the company’s global IT strategy and will play a central role in shaping its next phase of digital development.
He joins IFS from Shell, where he spent more than a decade in senior IT leadership roles. Most recently, he served as IT Global GM for Finance, guiding Shell’s digital transformation through next-generation ERP systems. His remit covered major global programmes across finance platforms, enterprise performance management and SaaS deployments. Before joining Shell, he worked in consulting roles at Deloitte and Accenture, cementing his expertise in enterprise transformation and large-scale IT delivery.
Gone brings a strong track record in building digital backbones, improving operational efficiency and leading high-performing teams across multiple regions. He will report directly to Mark Moffat, CEO of IFS, and will sit on the IFS Executive Board.
Moffat said he is pleased to welcome Gone to the company, noting that his experience in enterprise transformation and digital platform development will be vital as IFS continues to modernise and scale its global IT operations. He also thanked Helena Nimmo for her leadership, highlighting her role in shaping IT strategy, strengthening security and embedding AI throughout the organisation, as well as her wider contributions to diversity and inclusion.
