Business strategist, Author, and Speaker
What if empathy was the core metric of leadership — not just profits?
Tullio Siragusa has built a career proving that emotional intelligence isn’t a soft add-on, but the foundation for innovation, trust, and sustainable growth. For over 30 years he’s been a disruptive force in tech and business, helping companies scale, leaders reconnect with purpose, and teams perform with authenticity. He is the founder of a leadership advisory firm and the creator of the EmpathIQ Framework™, which blends disruptive technology, design thinking, and human-centered leadership.
His journey is one of transformation: from early roles in technology to becoming a fractional executive, coach, and speaker who pushes beyond typical KPIs. Along the way, he’s become a board advisor in programs focused on design thinking, ethical AI, and cultural leadership. His published books explore leadership, innovation, and the self-awareness needed to lead well.
This is a conversation about the kind of leadership that asks hard questions: How do you lead when your team doesn’t see you? What happens when systems grow faster than your capacity to care? And how do you balance tech and humanity, speed and meaning?
