A mentor once told Adam Taylor that there are three types of people in this world: People who make things happen, people who watch things happen and people who wonder what happened. Taylor is one of those who makes things happen. As executive vice president of Sales, Marketing & Service Delivery for Air Serv, a $600 million ABM company that provides integrated aviation facility services to more than 100 airports and airlines throughout the United States and Europe, Taylor leads the strategy and implementation effort for service delivery, which includes standardizing processes, training, technology and performance management, as well as sales and marketing functions. Over the past decade, Taylor has proven to be a true innovator, successfully designing and implementing revolutionary enabling technology systems that have become industry standards. In addition, his leadership within the world’s busiest airports and airlines has elevated Air Serv's reputation in the industry and resulted in significant business expansion. Taylor joined ABM in 2012 through the company’s acquisition of Air Serv, where he had been driving growth through various executive and leadership roles in sales, operations and service delivery. Most recently, Taylor served as the senior vice president of Global Accounts, with responsibility for strategic sales, retention and growth. In this role, he represented the voice of the customer and was a liaison to key internal and client stakeholders to ensure programs and operations were evolving and being delivered to expectations. Taylor also successfully secured and retained contracts in 13 of the top 30 global airports and saved the organization multi-millions of dollars through the development and execution of turnaround plans. Prior to joining Air Serv, Taylor spent time in sales management at IBM and Eclipsys (now All Scripts). He received a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and an MBA in Finance from the University of Georgia.
