Clarity’ is the word that comes to mind when I think about Mike Taylor. He leads and supports projects and has served as our point person often at FOV. I'm always amazed at his ability to keep competing opportunities and priorities in check with incredible wisdom, humility, and he always makes our job easier. He's not just an excellent leader or team member, but a great human.

Aug 2016 - Nov 2020
One of the most challenging, rewarding, and educational experiences of my professional life. Over the course of 4+ years, I was privileged to have had "a seat at the table" for every significant decision in the life of a fast-growing, fast-moving, mission-driven small business. As we grew, succeeded and failed, I was continuously presented with new challenges and the demands of the business required me to wear multiple "hats". I've leaned into these opportunities and used each to become smarter and more capable. These opportunities helped me become a more effective professional with talents, skills, and capabilities across a wide-range of important functional areas.My specific areas of direct responsibility include Customer Service & Retention, Operations Management, Sales and Business Development, Strategic Partnership Development, Strategic Planning, Digital Marketing, Financial Management & Forecasting, Content Creation & Distribution, Social Media Strategy & Execution, Supply Chain Management, and Human Resources.A unique part of FOV's mission is Giving Back. In support of this aspect of the company's mission statement, I had the true pleasure of being directly involved in, and more often than not personally leading, the company's fulfillment of this philanthropic commitment which, to date, has raised over 1M for deserving veteran/military family-focused non-profits.

Following my time as a Federal technology contractor, my (nearly) four years at IDM were a wonderful professional experience during which I was introduced to (by drinking from a fire hose) the full spectrum of Direct Marketing technologies, strategies, tactics, and disciplines. I sought out this role due to the fact that I, at the time I interviewed, knew nothing about marketing...but I wanted to learn. It was a professional blind spot I wanted to fill. I am grateful to the firm for hiring me and learned a great deal.My responsibilities expanded during my time at IDM, but were generally all related to assisting the firm's clients in acquiring and retaining customers/clients via creative, cost-efficient, and (ultimately) effective direct marketing strategies, campaigns, and activities in the B2C and B2B (SMB focus) verticals across digital and non-digital channels. Directly responsible for 20M+ in annual direct marketing spending across multiple Fortune 500 companies.

Apr 2010 - Jan 2011
As the only indirect employee, at a young Service-Disabled, Veteran-Owned, Small Business with a focus on technology consulting in the Federal Intelligence and Law Enforcement market, my role was pure business development. My mission was to expand the number of contract vehicles available to the company. This expansion was a core component of the company's growth strategy. The greater number of contract vehicles, the greater number of professional services billets available to our small business to fill. I was successful in this role and tripled the number of contract vehicles available to the company by the time I exited.
