Who is Frankie?
Hi, my name is Frankie Taylor. I was born in Bogota, Colombia, and the flow of the expat life brought me to grow up in a number of countries all over the world. This flow provided the invaluable experience of viewing the world through a variety of perspectives from a very early age. I spent a large part of my childhood in Atlanta, USA, before the twists and turns of life led my family to shorter stays in Istanbul, Turkey, Mexico City, Mexico, and Buenos Aires, Argentina. Most of my adolescence was spent in Curitiba, Brazil where I really began to set the groundwork for the adult I would become.
I then returned to Atlanta, where I attained a Bachelor of Science in Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech. I was active in student organizations such as the Georgia Tech Soccer team, The GT Business Organization and Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, where I held various officer positions. It was fascinating to discover how the concept of flow, or optimal experience, had its place on the soccer field, on the job, and in positions of leadership.
I have work experience in the consumer products and consulting industries where I have focused on the integration between Operations and Marketing. I found that aligning metrics and bottom line expectations to create a "flow" between traditionally siloed divisions was the key to creating holistic value. I did Management/IT consulting at Capgemini and now work at Victoria's Secret as a Manager handling the on-going Operations and Product Launches for the Pink, Very Sexy and So Sexy Hair sub-brands.
My interests are varied: I read widely on topics such as business and economics, management methodologies, psychology, philosophy, history, language and personal development.
I am married to a beautiful Argentinian woman, Mila, who I have been in love with since I was 12. I am also the proud father of Guillermo Salvador who was born on July 30th, 2008. I have four wonderful sisters living all over the world and two fabulous parents who who currently reside in Curitiba, Brazil.
I currently live in New York City and you can reach me via email at frankie@taylors-oc.com.
