Ron Tolido — CTO
Member of the League of Techstraordinary Gentlemen. TechnoVision Fellow. Digital Archeologist. Innovation Firestarter. Lecturer. Speaker. Author. Failed musician; but an undercover producer whenever nobody’s looking. I spend my time exploring where technology, strategy and human behaviour intersect - usually in unexpected ways. Years of digging through digital transformation, Data & AI initiatives, architectural triumphs (and the occasional spectacular misfire) have turned me into a digital archeologist and pattern-spotter: someone who connects what organisations meant to do with what they could do next. My work revolves around making complex technology meaningful and accessible. From TechnoVision trend-shaping to data-powered storytelling and agentic AI discussions, I mix hard tech insight with a touch of mischief and the occasional musical reference. I teach at business universities, speak at conferences, chair conferences, write quite a bit, and generally try to keep innovation grounded in reality; and slightly more fun than people expect. Still driven by curiosity, still allergic to buzzword theatre, still convinced that the best ideas happen somewhere between logic, creativity, great stories and a well-timed joke.
Stackforce AI infers this person is a seasoned leader in digital transformation and innovation within the tech industry.
