Hi, I'm tayler!

A global GTM leader with over a decade of experience as an operator and founder

I am a values-driven self-starter, shaped by an unconventional life path. Growing up in a small town in Oregon, I was one of five children raised by a single (very hardworking) mother. I learned the value of work ethic early in my first job at 13, and I've found purpose in every role I've taken on since then. That mindset helped me to jumpstart my career: in my second year of university, I landed my first full-time SaaS sales role, balancing classes with 100+ daily cold calls and absorbing everything I could as the youngest employee at a 300-person company in Austin, TX.

Alongside my studies and sales career, I pursued non-profit work, helping women in Kashmir to earn stable incomes to support their families, and funding drone and robotics innovation for endangered wildlife protection around the world. I also contributed to cognitive development research at the University of Oregon, using eye-tracking technology to study how low-income home environments shape early learning. After 4 years of grinding, I was rewarded with a Bachelor of Science degree in Social Sciences and Business as a first-generation graduate — and along the way, I found my passion for the fast-paced, chaotic and fulfilling startup world.

Since then, I’ve dedicated my career to helping SaaS founders across the US and Europe to build and scale revenue teams, working as a top-performing sales rep, a strategic GTM leader, and a Sales Enablement consultant. I’ve worked in Silicon Valley with success stories like DocSend ($165M acquisition), high-growth AI startups like Knotch in New York, and many others in between.

In 2022, I fulfilled a lifelong dream of moving to Paris, which led to my most recent adventure: co-founding an AI startup focused on making repair data more accessible for sustainable consumption of electronics, starting with micromobility vehicles and bikes.

Outside of work, you can usually find me painting or reading at home, on the mat in a Pilates studio, or at the park with my dog, Tam.

Testimonials

A few words from colleagues and clients

Tayler is a bit of a prodigy. Wise and capable well beyond her years, she definitely falls into the category of "rock star." She works hard, gets results, and manages clients with an impressive degree of savvy.
Beyond that, she helped shape our nascent customer success org, defining processes and bringing an abundance of ideas to the table.
I could go on, but a client of ours recently summed it up best when talking about Tayler. His comment: "She'll be running things someday." Those were his exact words, and I couldn't agree more. Tayler is destined for great things, and if she's on your team you can count yourself phenomenally fortunate.

Tayler's high level of business and sales acumen continues to impress me. Her understanding of marketing automation, sales process, and internal business mechanisms has allowed Tayler to outperform her peers. Tayler was able to take on extra curricular responsibilities outside her workload and deliver winning results on both fronts. Tayler is also very committed to making a difference in world through her participation in many philanthropic endeavors. When I am building a team, I am looking for qualities that Tayler has demonstrated.

Tayler is hands down one of the best sales directors I've ever worked with—so much so that I’ve hired or tried to hire her for my teams multiple times.

We called Tayler into a special project when our in-house team was pushed to its limits with other deadlines. We passed off our project to her with minimal instruction and nearly no need for mid-project management. She was able to take our initial ideas and improve on them, ensuring that the project outcome was even better than we had expected.
