I bring together strategy, product, marketing and finance to define and evaluate the key "equations" underlining products, services and companies.
I focus on the creative content and technology industries, specifically about how we create, distribute, communicate, position and sell creative content and context.
I care most about the intersections of "where the web meets the world" and "where meaning meets business".
I am also a photography geek who has written, advised and been interviewed extensively about the photography industry.
I am a frequent conference speaker and panelist about entrepreneurship, photography, social media and the business models behind the creative content industries.
I am a corporate strategy geek and an Excel nerd who loves to translate business strategies into financial models for growing companies; financial models allow you to understand the "bet" behind every decision, and breaking down your business into a financial model is one of the best ways to understand and value the risks and rewards of your decisions.
I write on the web at Taylor Davidson (the blog) and take a lot of pictures.
I'm a co-creator of NOLAlicious, a weekly newsletter exploring New Orleans with the eye of a tourist and the soul of native.
I live in New Orleans, LA. And, of course, I love it.
