Dominique Taylor

Dominique Taylor believes culture and diversity are key drivers of a company’s success, that both are set in the formative stages of a company's lifecycle, and that HR can be a force for good.

Dominique has more than 20 years of experience in HR, culture, employee engagement, DEI, and strategic planning across various industries, including healthcare, media, education, and consulting. This includes a proven track record of creating and executing cutting-edge initiatives that attract, retain, and develop the best talent which align with the company's vision and goals.

Most recently, she served as Chief People Officer at Veho, a shipping and logistics company, and before that as the Chief People Officer at Axios, a digital media company. At both companies she built high-performing, award-winning departments that supported every aspect of the employee experience.

She has developed an expertise in diversity and inclusion efforts, and at Axios she increased the percentage of people of color from 14% to 40%, the percentage of female Axions from 53% to 60%, and the percentage of LGBTQIIA+ Axions from 10% to 18%.

Prior to Axios, Dominique was at 1776, a start-up incubator, where she built the organization’s Talent and Culture function and worked with entrepreneurs around the world to inform their startup’s culture and diversity strategies. Prior to her role at 1776, she built out the Talent and Culture function at EverFi, an ed-tech company, as the company grew from 75 people to over 400, raised a Series C round of funding, acquired another company, and won a number of awards ranging from DC’s Coolest Companies to Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work.

Dominique graduated from Georgetown University with a B.S. in Business Management and a Minor in Psychology. She spent the first half of her career at the Advisory Board Company as a consultant focused on Workforce Management.
