Antonio Patric Buchanan ’83 will receive The Brother Arthur A. Loftus Award for Outstanding Achievement at this year’s Alumni Awards and Homecoming Dinner. This award recognizes and honors Ionians who have brought acclaim to the University by brilliant accomplishments in their chosen careers. This award, dating back to 1965, perpetuates the memory of Iona’s second president, Br. Loftus, who was also on the original faculty of the University.
Antonio Patric Buchanan is the architect behind Helix+'s vision, strategy, and global operations from go-to-market and product development to the data and consumer insight driving the company forward. A mission-driven entrepreneur with a lifelong passion for science, media, and brand-building, he has assembled a founding team of proven collaborators united by that same conviction. His work has earned him recognition as a top creative thinker by AdAge, a top innovator by Wallpaper Magazine, and a place on Black Enterprise's BE 100 list.
