Todd Taylor

Professor of Practice at Arizona State University’s Thunderbird School of Global Management

Todd spent 30 years at HP and IBM, leading many critical supply chain projects across an array of companies. He teaches classes in global supply chain and operations, global trade, AI, data and analytics, and blockchain. He founded ASU’s Blockchain Research Lab, as well as multiple technology startups, including HealthLOQ—a blockchain-based supply chain transparency and validation platform. His current research interest is soil health measurement and monitoring. He is especially interested in the connection between soil health data and nutrition data of the corresponding agricultural products grown in soil with specific health parameters. He feels this data will be critical to our global food supply in the future and to properly incentivize growers to follow practices that maximize soil health, longevity, and resulting food nutrition.
