Aging Expert:

As an experienced thought leader in healthcare, Anthony Cirillo knows how to navigate the industry. And as someone who spends thousands of hours a year with seniors and caregivers, he understands the aging consumer's perspective and needs. And as an accomplished vocalist and musician, he makes keynotes fun.

Anthony is past Chair of the Lake Norman Community Health Clinic in his hometown and the former Senior Care expert for Verywell.com, and a past executive board member for The Dementia Action Alliance. Anthony is a member of the Nationwide Financial/National Council on Aging Health and Wellness Roundtable and a member of the Bank of America Elder Care Policy Roundtable.

Anthony is a noted social media influencer, named a Top Mover and Shaker by the Social Shakeup. He has written for U.S. News and World Report and Sixty and Me and appears monthly on the Charlotte Today television program. He is one of the top caregiving experts in the nation, often called in by top tier companies like Nationwide Financial and Bank of America to serve on advisory panels in this important area.

Anthony fell into a mission and advocacy for elders when he started performing in nursing homes. A gifted singer-performer, he has been to Nashville to record and has sung around the country. He uses his performing gifts in his keynote speeches and press engagements.

Anthony brightens the lives and promotes the quality of life and the dignity of caregivers and seniors. And he is a conduit that helps businesses reach and connect to boomer and senior audiences.

Patient Experience/Customer Service:

A Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE), Anthony consults with healthcare organizations globally. His article The Chief Experience Officer became an impetus for the Cleveland Clinic to create an office of patient experience, hire the first hospital chief experience officer and create a groundswell to promote better patient experiences. As a former Chief Marketing Officer who helped launch a Wall Street startup serving seniors, he brings marketing savvy and an entrepreneurial mindset to clients, being named a Top 50 Entrepreneur in Charlotte.
