(646) 427-3849 About Mark Taylor:
Mark Taylor is a retired CEO that founded several companies: one became the 58th fastest growing company in the State (which he sold in 2005) and a high-tech internet startup that raised $20 million & went public in 2007. As a Master Chair for Vistage, the world’s largest executive coaching organization, Mark facilitates eight groups made up of 100+ CEOs and business leaders from diverse industries in NYC. He was recognized as one of the top twenty performing chairs in the country (with the STAR Award) for the past seven years. In 2016, he was honored with the Vistage Hyndman Award “Given to the Vistage Chair who has gone above and beyond the call of duty in service of Vistage and given unselfish and immeasurable service.” He is a Certified Positive Intelligence Coach, a Certified Working Genius Facilitator, Tribal Leadership Trainer, holds a Bachelor’s in Science degree, an MBA, a Masters in Leadership, and five coaching certifications. Mark is the author of the Leadership Field Manual: Exercises & Tools for Executing Culture Change. His TEDx talk was highlighted by Forbes.
“After 19 profitable years as a CEO, 12 years as a Fortune 500 corporate executive, successfully raising money for an internet start-up, plus the requisite failed startup that rounds out my experience, you could say that business is my life. I have dedicated the last 40 years to studying leadership and the last twelve working with NYC CEOs committed to becoming better leaders. Through thousands of hours of face-to-face meetings with CEOs, I am convinced that it can be different. My mission is to positively impact the world through leadership development so all people can flourish.”
