THE PERSON BEHIND THE MESSAGE
Experience is
the difference.
Al Florez is a government technology leader, U.S. Army veteran, keynote speaker and community leader. His perspective is shaped by practical responsibility, not just ideas about what technology might do.
PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND
Built on the work
behind the decisions.
Al manages a portfolio of more than 200 enterprise and mission-critical applications in local government. His experience includes technology modernization, application delivery, business intelligence and analytics, and leading teams responsible for daily operations.
Military logistics leadership and public-sector technology work have shaped how he approaches planning, accountability and service delivery.
His speaking and advisory work draw on that professional background, while remaining separate from his government employment.
BEYOND TECHNOLOGY
Leadership in
different rooms.
His service has included the North Carolina Governor's Advisory Council on Hispanic Affairs, ICMA Digital Strategies Committee and Cumberland County Workforce Development Board.
He has also served with nonprofit and arts boards, chaired the Cumberland County Academy of Information Technology advisory board, and previously led Latinos United for Progress.
