Anthony is the CEO of Healthy Humans, a doctor-directed portal helping people with chronic illness lead healthier lives.  Healthy Humans is demonstrating spectacular health outcomes at greatly reduced costs, and has already touched the lives of many people.  The underlying engines are built on many open source and Web 2.0 components.  Anthony is also the President of the Open Solutions Alliance (OSA), a non-profit global organization focused on addressing the interoperability of open source amongst business infrastructures.  The OSA organization consists of over 20 members, including some of the hottest open source companies.  Anthony was also recently chosen to chair the Healthcare Working Group for the Open Source for America coalition.

Prior to this, Anthony was the Vice President and General Manager of the startup Open Source Business within the $6B Unisys Corporation.  Anthony created this startup business (vision, strategy, business plan, portfolio development, engineering, sales, marketing, and all go-to-market execution plans) and within one year turned it into what the press called, “Open Source’s biggest services gun” and what industry leaders noted as, “The largest Open Source Systems Integrator in the world.”  He led a team of nearly 1,000 personnel distributed across 100 countries and built deep channels into several industries with particular emphasis on the US federal & state government, financial services, telecommunications, healthcare, and higher education sectors.  Within two years of its creation, this business generated several hundred million dollars in highly profitable revenue.  Anthony was named as one of the “top business leaders who matter the most” by LinuxWorld magazine.

As a result of his entrepreneurial vision and business startup success, Anthony is regularly invited to present keynote speeches around the world on the model of Web 2.0 & mass-collaboration and how they are changing all facets of business and the world.  He defined a new industry term known as the CIO Conundrum™ and has helped many businesses and educational institutions transform themselves leveraging Web 2.0, mass-collaboration, and open source to solve these challenges.  His executive blog on these topics is featured by many news agencies around the globe and is syndicated by Forbes for their “Business and Finance Blog Network.”

He also sits on the Philadelphia Future Salon group to discuss the business implications of science and technology innovation.  As well, Anthony is chairman of the CIO Institute for the Eastern Technology Council.  He is also a member of the Editorial Advisory Board for the Technology Times bi-monthly publication that serves nearly 200,000 business leaders in the Philadelphia region. Anthony was also selected to serve on Philadelphia’s Innovation Leadership Council, and is a guest speaker for the Society for Information Management (SIM).

Prior to creating and running the Unisys startup business, Anthony ran all of hardware engineering for Unisys and invented the world’s first Intel mainframe, known as the ES7000.  The ES7000 set numerous records for performance and was entered into the Guinness Book of World Records for hosting the largest number of concurrent gamers at the Dreamhack gaming conference in Sweden.  In addition to running this business, Anthony amassed eight patents around enterprise server design.

Anthony serves as a business consultant and board member for several startups and non-profits in the Philadelphia region including LiquidHub and Bluenog. He sits on the executive committee for the Chester County Healthcare Partnership.  He further serves as a guest speaker for the Chester County Economic Development Council assisting smaller companies in the area.  Anthony is also an Advisory Board member for the Academy in Manayunk, an educational institution for children with learning disabilities.  He also works with educational leaders around the world to help them better leverage technology and social networking to address the theme of “Education in the 21st Century.”  Anthony graduated from Drexel University with a bachelor of science in Electrical Engineering.
