Long bio

For programs & introductions

Neil D. Morris is an author, keynote speaker, and fractional technology executive with 25+ years leading technology across aerospace, defense, energy, and other regulated industries — from architect to the CIO's chair. His thesis is blunt: AI doesn't fail for technical reasons, it fails for leadership reasons.

His book, Why AI Fails: The Leadership Discipline Behind the 5% Who Succeed, gives boards and executive teams the structure to invest in AI with confidence — the Seven Pillars of AI Leadership and the Asset-Liability Framework that separate the 5% who succeed from the 95% who stall.

A Forbes Technology Council member and Three-Time ORBIE Nominee, he is the founder of Authentic Tech Leadership and the author of the techno-thriller series The Sentinel Protocols. He is based in Greater Denver, Colorado.
