Mr. Jeff Taylor
Founder and CEO of Monster.com and Eons.com

As the founder of Monster.com, Taylor forever changed the way the world networks and builds careers. Recognized as an innovator and visionary in both Internet and careers industries, Taylor reinvented the way the world looks for employment. His “monster idea,” conceived at the dawn of the World Wide Web, quickly became one of the first dot-com companies (454th registered domain on the Web) and has grown into the world’s leading online career site. Today, the Monster

global network consists of 22 local content and language sites in 20 countries and serves 20 million visitors monthly.

A restless big picture entrepreneur, Taylor has tapped into the burgeoning generation of boomers, once again harnessing the power of the Internet and launched Eons.com, an innovative media company that challenges boomers and seniors to live the biggest life possible. By offering a spirited online community, experts, tips, and information created specifically for adults age 50 and older, Eons.com encourages boomers to follow their dreams, celebrate their accomplishments and make the most of today.

As an expert at technology, advertising, and human capital, Taylor zeroes in on what lies ahead. Sensing economic upheaval, changing global employment, and the shift from commerce to people, networking, and consumers that Web 2.0 has created, he’s on an innovative streak once more.

Envisioning ways to harness these evolving trends with technology and the power of human capital, Taylor taps into his experience leading Eons.com, and advises businesses on how they can break away from the competition by adopting a new mindset, and getting in early with social networking. Fast becoming one of the key tools transforming business, Web 2.0 and social networking are fundamental to helping build a bigger brand, enriching talent, and ultimately growing the bottom line.

It’s a new way of doing business, but that’s what Taylor is all about — taking chances, taking risks, taking the big leaps into the future — while bringing people and business along with him. In a presentation that is rich in content, yet interactive and highly entertaining, he fully engages audiences, creating a transformative buzz that motivates everyone to think big and think ahead.
