During his career at Cox, Taylor has held numerous leadership positions, including managing Cox Media Group, where he presided over its largest television, radio, newspaper and digital properties. He serves on Cox Enterprises’ board of directors and is the great-grandson of James M. Cox, who founded the company in 1898.

The Dean’s Council, a group of prominent business executives, founded the Economic Club of Phoenix in January 1985 in conjunction with the W. P. Carey School of Business. Thirty-five years later, the club remains the premier luncheon speaker series in the Valley designed to enhance the discussion of economic and business, labor and public sectors in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
