J. Taylor Olson is a CEO & Co-founder // Applause Technology, Inc. at Applause. They possess expertise in start ups, leadership, marketing, entrepreneurship, public speaking and 22 more skills. Colleagues describe them as "The treatment I received at Slingshot was incredible and a great environment to start off a career; I attribute this largely to Taylor. Taylor was a fantastic boss and mentor and someone that I had the utmost confidence in to lead the company to success. He takes a highly data-driven approach in his business decisions, which is by and large the reason that Slingshot has succeeded as much as it has. I always felt that he was very honest and fair with me, and felt comfortable talking with him and asking questions, which is not always the case when interfacing with the CEO of a company. I would recommend him to anyone as a boss, mentor, co-worker, and friend.", "Working with Taylor was great. He brought a relaxed and "Let's get it done" approach that was much appreciated. During his internship at ServiceMesh, we worked together on several projects where his attention to detail and focus on the end results kept the projects on track. He took on responsibilities that required a quick assessment of both the current status and business needs, and then formulated an approach to organize the information and deliver the project results.", and "Taylor worked with me over the summer on a variety of complex legal and corporate matters. He was a fantastic communicator, well organized, and masterfully balanced the work flow of managing multiple projects with competing deadlines. Additionally, he was not only extremely sharp, but was the consummate team player—always being willing to lend a hand. I would work with him again in a heartbeat."
