Joe Toscano

Founder and CEO
DataGrade

Joe Toscano is an award-winning designer, published author, and international keynote speaker. Previously an Experience Design consultant for Google, Joe left Silicon Valley because he believes the industry misuses data and feels the issues need to be addressed through innovation rather than strict regulation.

Since leaving, Joe has written a book, called Automating Humanity, and has started DataGradeTM, both focused on increasing technology literacy and purpose-driven innovation. His work has influenced the World Economic Forum (WEF), Forbes, Fox News, and other prominent institutions in the United States, and abroad.

You may have seen Joe featured in The Social Dilemma or read his articles on Forbes. Watch his TEDx Talk, “Want to work for Google? You already do,” for a summary of his work.
