Before joining the Foundation, she held a range of roles in the non-profit and social impact space. Taylor managed content and speaker curation for NEXUS, a global community of next-gen philanthropists, impact investors, and social entrepreneurs determined to bring about the most promising solutions of our generation. While there, she worked to ensure the coverage of timely topics that the community sought to elevate and address. She spent time at Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), where she managed a working group of economists focused on country-level costing frameworks designed to help governments, development banks, and private foundations better understand the ongoing financing needs to meet national and regional development targets. Before SDSN, Taylor was a Consultant at the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) in the Division for Sustainable Development Goals, where she was tasked with early promotion and advocacy for the Global Goals, a shared universal blueprint for peace and prosperity.
