Why read this post?
Hey folks!
You must be looking to know more about me, Taylor Polchinski.
But why?
Perhaps you are looking for a versatile, curious, competitive problem solver?
My experience and personality tests repeatedly show that I am that kind of person.
Maybe you are seeking someone with experience in managing custom development projects?
Or experiential technology, event technology, podcasting, or sports communications?
Or writing contracts, collaborating with finance, or confirming tax law with accounting?
Or working for the government, universities, private small businesses, or venture-backed firms?
It probably seems unique, but that starts with my core personality traits.
I am unafraid of entering new territory and figuring out how to maximize my impact.
If I sound like a leader you'd be interested in working with, I recommend reading more below!
If not, I encourage you to check out my FREE Conversations and Exercises that Help You Think for Yourself.
From one human to another, I hope you feel the hug I am sending you for reading! - Taylor
And now to the conversation...
Who am I?
- I am Taylor from Wallkill, NY (about 1.5 hours from NYC), and I've been in NYC almost exclusively since 2009. This gives me a big appreciation for our entire state full of awesome folks who have their own opinions and are not afraid to share them!
- I am the oldest of 4 siblings with the youngest being 14 years younger! Our parents were lovers of people, learning, dreams, and taking risks so you will find us passionately encouraging others to do the same!
- Personally, this has meant a life with diverse work experiences at organizations that had a big vision against the odds. I can’t say that it has always been a stable ride, but I have learned a lot from the adversity.
- Nowadays, I spend my free time helping relatives and friends reach for their dreams while continuing to reach for my own.

What have I done?
- Leveraging data and partnerships, I launched new products and systems dozens of times.
- In most cases, it has meant new revenue streams (creating from nothing) or improving the efficiency of existing revenue streams (30%+ Revenue/FTE).
- My experience has come within small (>50) and large (100k+) organizations in the public and private sectors.
- Functionally, I have worked cross-functionally within marketing, sales, service, and support to drive initiatives involving stakeholders from executives to frontline teams for experiences, services, bespoke software, and SaaS software.
- Because I have worked directly across many specialties, I have become an expert in entering new environments and driving significant, rapid improvements that cross-functional teams support.
- It excites me to align disconnected teams around objectives that matter!
- If you’d like to learn more, reach out via LinkedIn or submit the Feedback form.
How do you make money?
- My experience is in cross-functional strategy and operations for go-to-market teams across organizational structures.
- I have direct experience understanding what finance, legal, accounting, marketing, sales, service, support, and product teams need to deliver optimal outcomes at different scales with different monetization models.
- This allowed me to drive Revenue Operations improvements that led to my first exit (acquired) and enabled cross-selling within 45 days of that acquisition (half the time expected).
- If you have a full-time or project opportunity that is a good fit feel free to Submit Your Info or Book a Call!
- My preferred roles offer opportunities to lead teams, drive efficient growth, and collaborate cross-functionally for organizations that optimize business operations, build community, educate, enable creators, or foster entrepreneurship.
- My preferred projects involve Monetization, GTM Strategy & Operations, Product Launches, Cross-functional Change Management, and unique/special/custom projects!
