Sébastien Barillot — Managing Director, Whysebird
A catalyst for new perspectives in leadership

​

After two decades in senior roles — including at Burberry — leading multicultural teams across Italy, Asia, North Africa, and the UK, I now partner with leaders and boards to navigate complexity with clarity and elegance.

​

Trusted by luxury houses and global brands in tech, sport, and industry, I bring a rare blend of:

• Luxury precision — rigour, elegance, discretion

• Real-world impact — practical tools and results that last

​

Drawing on advanced leadership training (ILM Level 7), practical communication tools (including NLP), and proven frameworks such as Patrick Lencioni’s Five Dysfunctions of a Team, I enable leaders and teams to both perform and transform.

 

My mission: to drive performance systemically — where organisational clarity, team cohesion, and individual leadership reinforce one another.
