Cory Taylor
Technology Strategist & Host
Cory Taylor has spent his career at the intersection of technology and strategy — helping organizations understand not just what technology can do, but what it means for how they compete, operate, and lead.
Through The Technologist, Cory brings the same analytical rigor to public writing and conversation that he applies in his strategic work. The result is content that goes beyond the surface-level coverage that dominates technology media — exploring the organizational, strategic, and human dimensions of technological change that rarely make the headlines.
The Technologist blog and podcast are built on a simple premise: technology leaders deserve better analysis than they typically get. Too much technology coverage is either vendor-driven, analyst-firm-filtered, or written for a general audience that does not need to act on it. The Technologist is written for people who do.
Cory's particular focus areas include enterprise AI strategy and governance, cybersecurity architecture, digital transformation, and the leadership challenges that arise when organizations try to move faster than their cultures and processes allow.

Clarity over complexity
Technology is complex enough without adding unnecessary jargon. Every article and episode is written to be understood by a smart person who is not a specialist in the topic.
Evidence over opinion
Strong views, loosely held — and always grounded in evidence. When the facts change, the analysis changes.
Independence above all
No vendor relationships, no analyst firm agenda, no sponsored content. The Technologist exists to serve its readers and listeners, not to sell them anything.
