JYLL TAYLOR
Jyll Taylor provides consulting services to socially responsible businesses, non-profits and social entrepreneurs with a particular focus on organizational change and capacity building. She is a strategic visionary with a global perspective and strong commitment to preserving and developing sustainable ecosystems and addressing inequality and injustice. The depth of her work is an outgrowth of her unique personal experiences as a woman of interracial heritage and a student of eastern philosophy and religion who has lived and traveled extensively throughout the world and witnessed and contributed to political and social change.

She is the former Organizational Change Strategist of Goodwill Industries of San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin Counties of California, Executive Director of BELL (Building Educated Leaders for Life), Development Officer for The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Program Associate for the South Africa Partnership Program at the New School for Social Research, and Technical Assistance provider for the Open Society Institute. In addition to her independent consulting work, Jyll is currently collaborating with the Kellogg Foundation, Origo Social Enterprise Partners, Social Venture Technology Group, the Social Enterprise Group and Bainbridge Graduate Institute on various projects to advance the fields of social enterprise, economic/social and environmental development at the base of the economic period, and building the cultural capacity of organizations to be sustainable.

As an accomplished photographer who has been awarded several fellowships, including a Fulbright, to conduct photo-ethnographic studies of diverse cultures around the globe, Jyll offers an authentic perspective from which to stimulate cross-cultural understanding. Her work has been shown throughout the world, most notably at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and as part of the 2001 United Nations World Conference Against Racism in Durban, South Africa.
