Convergence Technology Council - CTC

Vice President, Marketing Communications
SOA Software, Inc.

Ten years in advanced technology in the Fortune 500 taught Hugh Taylor that corporate managers and information technology professionals are often in a dysfunctional relationship. In one case, it took 18 aggravating months to install a simple piece of software just because of oppressive security rules imposed by the Sarbanes Oxley Act. Hugh devotes himself to helping each side learn to listen and appreciate the needs and complexities of the other’s position, a role he refers to as being “The Dr. Phil of the Data Center.”

Translating techie into English, he makes the critically important subjects of information technology and compliance fun and understandable for corporate managers.

A graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Business School, Hugh is the author of the books, The Joy of SOX: Why Sarbanes Oxley and Service-Oriented Architecture May Be The Best Thing That Ever Happened To You and Understanding Enterprise SOA.
