Taylor is our co-founder and Head of Product, which at an early-stage startup means he spends a lot of time conversing, writing, testing, and more testing. Taylor is our rock and on a regular basis, everyone at twine leans on his varied experience and expertise which covers a wide range of disciplines from analytics to business operations and marketing. Outside of work Taylor is often playing beach volleyball, soccer, and sailing in NYC. He’s extremely disciplined and intentional about everything, including freezing his candies so he doesn’t binge eat them.
