Honorio J. Padrón is recognized as The First Intelligent Enterprise Architect, a pioneering leader who has helped global organizations transform themselves for more than four decades. His work spans NASA, Burger King, KKR, PepsiCo, CompUSA, Exelon, The Hackett Group, Pantaleon Sugar Holdings, and C3 AI, forming one of the most comprehensive transformation careers in industry.
Honorio’s technology career began at NASA, where he served as the program manager for the design and construction of the Space Shuttle Simulator, a mission-critical system for astronauts, payload functionality, physical testing, and training. He gained expertise in systems engineering, architectural discipline, and understanding the cultural realities of change. He later became a crisis-tested leader at Burger King, rebuilding global IT after Hurricane Andrew and leading one of the most ambitious corporate reengineering programs of its time. As Global Head of Reengineering, he restructured worldwide processes to streamline operations after the Grand Met acquisition. Earlier, as CIO of PepsiCo Restaurants, he positioned IT to support the global spin-off that became Yum! Brands. At Exelon, he built a billion-dollar business services organization with 2,000 employees, and at The Hackett Group, he helped establish the Global Business Services (GBS) model. As CEO of Exelon’s Services Division and Corporate CIO, he led the post-merger integration of ComEd and PECO, creating one of the largest utilities in the U.S. and setting up Exelon Business Services as a model for enterprise-scale shared services. As CTO of Pantaleon Sugar Holdings, he led a comprehensive SAP S/4HANA modernization and early AI adoption during the COVID-19 pandemic. At C3 AI, Honorio served as Vice President for Latin America, driving enterprise AI adoption across utilities, manufacturing, CPG, and agribusiness sectors, helping major companies shift from experimentation to large-scale deployment. Later, at C3 AI, he evaluated over 200 AI use cases across Latin America, creating the insights that support the Intelligent Enterprise architecture used today. As the founder of ExperienceBypass™ and creator of the Zero-Latency Decision™ framework, Honorio helps CEOs and executive teams design Intelligent Enterprise Operating Models that integrate AI, automation, robotics, advanced analytics, and real-time decision systems. His framework helps organizations eliminate friction, accelerate value, and avoid costly mistakes that hinder traditional transformation efforts.
Through ExperienceBypass™, Honorio shares lessons from his remarkable career, helping organizations build intelligent enterprises for the AI age.
