Everette Taylor Biography

Everette Taylor has been the CEO of Kickstarter since September 2022, spearheading the world’s premiere crowdfunding platform for creative projects. Because of his leadership, Kickstarter has been recognized as one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential Companies, a testament to its influence in shaping the future of work and its impact on the global creator economy.

Prior to his role at Kickstarter, Everette made a significant impact in the art world as the CMO of Artsy, the largest online marketplace for buying and selling fine art. His innovative approach led to record revenue growth and a surge in brand awareness, earning him recognition from Business Insider as one of the World's Most Innovative CMOs and by Forbes as one of the World's Most Influential CMOs.

Everette's acumen as a marketing executive and CMO has been critical in driving acquisitions for businesses such as Skurt and Qualaroo. Additionally, he co-founded and led the growth of GrowthHackers, the largest community for growth marketers, and ET Enterprises, which includes companies such as PopSocial, MilliSense, ArtX, and GrowthHackers. His leadership and growth strategies in his role as the youngest CMO for Sticker Mule and in developing new social products for Microsoft established him as a key figure in the tech industry.

In 2013, Everette launched the "Unity Over Self" clothing line alongside NFL athlete Brandian Ross. This venture was a significant effort to support children with autism. Continuing his entrepreneurial journey, in 2018, Everette partnered with actress Zoe Saldana to launch the media platform "BESE" and the addiction prevention app "Hayver."

Everette's achievements have not gone unnoticed. In 2016, he was named "Social Media Influencer of the Year" by Black Enterprise Magazine. The following year, he was included in The Root 100 list of the most influential African Americans and was named a brand ambassador for NASA's Technology Transfer Program. Furthermore, in 2018, he was listed in Forbes 30 under 30 for marketing and advertising.

Everette is a sought-after public speaker. He has shared his story and expertise in entrepreneurship, tech, marketing, startups, art, mental health, and diversity in over twenty countries and throughout the United States. He supports diversity and gender equality initiatives such as CODE2040, Wonder Women Tech, and Black Girls Code, reinforcing his commitment to an inclusive tech industry.

In addition to his significant contributions in the tech and marketing sphere, Everette has emerged as a prominent digital influencer and brand ambassador for companies including General Motors, Intel, Amazon, Adobe, Toyota, and more. In 2019, Shaw University honored Everette with an honorary doctorate degree, acknowledging his exceptional contributions to society and human welfare.
