Breaking systemic barriers with impact-driven pioneers

 
 
 

As the proud leader of equally local and global organizations, my mission is to break systemic barriers with impact-driven pioneers.

I believe that long standing impact results from collective changes among a cohesive ecosystem — and I strive to implement the collaborative mindset of a systems entrepreneur whether I’m leading an organization, speaking and facilitating workshops, or representing the City of Austin and United States abroad.

I currently serve as a Director at the Global Entrepreneurship Network, Founder of Reimagine Society, and an Economic Prosperity Commissioner for the City of Austin. Each of these roles allow me to open up opportunities for underserved communities and tackle barriers stifling economic mobility.

Previously, I spent seven passionate years serving 3 Day Startup, Austin-born international development 501(c)3 nonprofit, — where I led the organization as the President and Chief Executive Officer at the end of my tenure. We made tech entrepreneurship accessible through 600 programs with 16,000 young leaders across 6 continents.

These organizations form the foundation of each system I hope to build, closely aligning with my roles as a World Economic Forum Global Shaper, Al Gore Climate Reality Leader, Stevens Initiative Global Ally, Fellow for The Shafik Gabr Foundation, two-time Alumnus of Impact Hub Accelerators, and U.S. Delegate for global organizations.

Looking to the future, I envision a world that’s regenerative, flourishing, and equitable.

Leading this paradigm shift across cities and nations requires a deep understanding of the systemic barriers which inhibit economic growth and individual advancement. Through our collective efforts highlighted on across my digital presence and those of the organizations that I represent, my intent is to extend an invitation to join us. With upcoming projects, events, workshops, job openings, and much more — diversity of thought is pivotal to our success.

Whether you’re bringing a question, challenge, or solution to the table — I’d love to join you in conquering complex challenges with cohesive systems to achieve a bright and equitable future.

With Gratitude and Fervor,

Alexis J Taylor
