GUEST SPEAKER SERIES

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1 (12:00 - 1:00 PM ET)

Antonio Taylor is a seasoned technology executive, author, public speaker, and board member with more than 26 years of experience spanning healthcare, enterprise IT, infrastructure, security, and executive leadership. He has built his career at the intersection of technology strategy, risk management, and organizational accountability—helping leaders make clearer, more confident decisions in moments that matter most.

Antonio’s work today centers on a modern reality: most organizations don’t have a technology problem—they have an ownership problem. When accountability is unclear, transformation stalls, investments misalign, and risk quietly compounds. His approach helps executives move from “performing leadership” to owning leadership—with clarity, discipline, and integrity.

Antonio partners with individuals, business leaders, and organizations to strengthen leadership alignment and build practical capability in AI. He teaches the principles that make AI useful—not theoretical—helping teams implement AI responsibly, improve decision-making, increase execution speed, and create real operational leverage without compromising trust or integrity.

He is the author of Stop Trying to Be a Leader, a book that challenges conventional leadership narratives and reframes leadership not as a role to perform, but as an identity to claim. The book draws from Antonio’s journey—from hands-on technical roles to executive and board-level leadership—and reflects his emphasis on self-leadership, decision ownership, and leading without masks.

Beyond his client work, Antonio remains deeply engaged in the leadership community through board service, public speaking, and involvement with the Society for Information Management (SIM). Known for his calm presence, thoughtful perspective, and practical wisdom, he brings a grounded voice to conversations about leadership, technology, and what it means to lead well in today’s high-pressure environment.
