IBM CIO Leadership Exchange

James Taylor did a remarkable job as a speaker and moderator at our CIO Leadership Exchange in Barcelona. His expertise in the field of Business Analytics and Optimization was reflected in his concise remarks and the way he expertly facilitated the discussion with other leaders in the field. He is a joy to work with and I highly endorse him for both his intellect and professional, personable style.

VP Marketing

Silverlink

We launched a live event in 6 cities to attract key health plan executives. The purpose of the event was to share with them how other industries have applied decision sciences to communications and how this approach could dramatically improve their communications program results, savings $100s of millions. It was a no brainer for us to leverage James and his insights for this seminar series. His knowledge and credibility served as a baseline to cement the concepts. Hundreds of executives attended, resulting in millions of dollars in sales opportunities.
