“Taylor had an innate ability to see around corners and anticipate what the product and team would need next.”

“I managed Taylor during her time as a Product Owner at LearnDash, and she was an exceptional member of our team.

What impressed me most about Taylor was her proactive approach to everything she touched. She didn’t wait for direction; she identified opportunities, developed strategies, and drove initiatives forward with remarkable independence. Taylor had an innate ability to see around corners and anticipate what the product and team would need next.

Taylor was also an early champion of AI within our organization. While many were still trying to understand the potential, she was already experimenting, implementing, and sharing insights with the team. Her willingness to dive deep into emerging technologies didn’t just improve her own work, it elevated our entire product team’s capabilities and mindset. She created a culture of learning and innovation that rippled across the organization.

Perhaps her greatest strength was the balancing act she performed daily: deeply understanding and addressing immediate customer needs while simultaneously keeping us focused on our longer-term product vision. She had this rare ability to be both tactical and strategic, ensuring we delivered value today without losing sight of where we needed to be tomorrow.

Any organization would be fortunate to have Taylor working in their product org.”

This section describes how I know the reviewer, how long we’ve worked together, and what version(s) of my career they’ve intersected with — the contextual release notes of our collaboration.

  • Relationship: Jack and I first worked across brands when I was a Product Marketing Director. When I moved into product, he became my manager and guided my transition from marketing leadership into product ownership. He gave me unusual autonomy for a new PO, backing my decisions even when they weren’t the ones he would have made. A lot of my instincts around balancing product goals, engineering tradeoffs, and leadership chaos were shaped during this period.
  • Length: We worked together for about five years total, with roughly two of those years in a direct manager-report relationship.
  • Taylor Versions: He knew me first as a Product Marketing Director, then later as the LearnDash Product Owner.
  • Focus: LearnDash. This entire era was LearnDash-heavy: product direction, team restructuring, roadmap rebuilding, and the modernization path. Jack oversaw several brands and provided a conduit with senior leadership while giving me room to lead strategy and cross-team alignment.
