Taylor is a frequent speaker at colleges and universities across the country and serves as an expert at technology, advertising and human capital conferences. Taylor co-authored the book, Monster Careers, which hit bookstores nationwide in April 2004 and offers job seekers a step-by-step plan for finding the job of their dreams.

Taylor serves on both the Berklee College of Music board of directors and is also a board member of Boston's Citi Performing Arts Center. Taylor holds an undergraduate degree from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst; a Certificate-Owner/President Management (OPM) Program, Executive Education, Harvard Business School; and an Honorary Doctorate from Bentley College.
