Tony Pattillo

Tony refers to himself as an “inner-city kid from Baltimore.” It is from that experience that he developed an uncanny ability to move people through moments of uncomfortableness and inspire individuals to meet the complex challenges of the world around them. Revered as a dynamic agent of change, he skillfully weaves his compelling life story into the fabric of his work, enabling him to effectively operate in the most challenging spaces.

Tony brings more than 28 years of experience in Public Safety, Healthcare, and Government Affairs. After obtaining his degree in Emergency Medical Sciences, he moved to the Catawba lands of Charlotte, North Carolina where he managed the largest EMS 911 system in the state. He is recognized as a trailblazer for leading efforts to form the first EMS Diversity Council in North Carolina, and for his instrumental role in the development and implementation of Racial Equity Action Plans in major U.S. cities.

His vast experience in Leadership, Project Management, and Lean Six Sigma has created a unique niche in efforts for the advancement of racial equity toward racial justice.
