Career

At the age of 19 Taylor started his first company and successfully sold the company 3 years later. After college, Taylor led marketing at the software company Qualaroo - a behavioral insight survey software on both the web and mobile which was acquired by Xenon Ventures. While working at Qualaroo, Taylor started GrowthHackers[1][2][3] - an online growth hacking community and a software as a service (SaaS) that enables teams to manage the growth experimentation process with well-known entrepreneur Sean Ellis (entrepreneur) and led growth for the new company.[4]

In 2014, Taylor founded the company MilliSense[5][6] - a transformational marketing firm dedicated to growing companies and building brands through data-driven marketing where he served as CEO. He named the company after his mother "Millicent". Taylor also became the youngest executive at the e-commerce company Sticker Mule, serving as their Chief Marketing Officer (CMO)[7] at 25 years old and helped grow the company's revenue over 50 percent.

After leading marketing efforts for new projects at Microsoft, Taylor joined the on-demand car rental company Skurt as their CMO. He also serves as an advisor to Onyx - a subscription-based beauty box company for Black women.

Taylor's interests span far beyond business.
