Dr. X is an industry speaker for "Name of company".

Selected answer:industry speaker
Explanation:
I think it's somewhat the other way round from Jack's answer. Dr X works for the company and speaks to the industry at conferences etc. He may represent the company (and be paid by them) or he may act as an independent speaker (and be paid by the conference).

a speaker representing the industry


Explanation:
Without more context, I can only speculate that this is a conference about a company in a certain industry at which the company's name is to be discussed, among other subjects, and that Dr. X will represent the industry as a whole when speaking on this theme.
