The Fourth Crossroads Speaker Series featuring Daryl Holt, Senior Vice President and Group General Manager at EA Tiburon Studios in Orlando, Austin, Madrid, and Victoria and American Football will engage in a lively dialogue with moderator, Thad Seymour, Jr., focusing on the intersection of business and philanthropy. This annual event spotlights the impact corporate leadership can create for those who live and work in their communities – and the important strategic goals that can be accomplished through partnership with nonprofit organizations.
During his 20-year tenure at EA Tiburon, Holt has led development for many of EA’s world-famous game titles, a pioneer for establishing the use of analytics and insights for game development and live services in the industry and has served in several leadership roles. In addition to his time at EA Tiburon, Holt currently serves on the executive board of directors for the Orlando Economic Partnership, the Florida High Tech Corridor Council, and is chair of the board for the Innovate Orlando entity. Holt has received several recognitions, which includes one of Florida’s “500 Most Influential Business Leaders” by Florida Trend Magazine and most recently was selected as a 2024 inductee for the National Center for Simulation’s Modeling & Simulation Hall of Fame.
The crossroads where business and philanthropy intersect often is the engine that drives the success and well-being of individual lives and entire communities. The Crossroads Speaker Series is one example of how Dr. Phillips Charities and UCF work in partnership to improve our educational programming and the health and vitality of downtown Orlando, Central Florida and beyond.
