Who is Guillermo "Bill" Taylor?

Born in Argentina and raised across several countries in South America, I received my degree in Chemical Engineering from the Universidad de Buenos Aires before moving to the U.S. to get my MBA at Florida International University.

I worked with the Coca-Cola company for over 40 years — starting as a flavor chemist, then moving into product, marketing, and eventually general management.

My Coca-Cola career took me to assignments in Atlanta, Bogota, Istanbul, Mexico City, and Curitiba — my wife and 5 children in tow. During this time, I managed companies and executed projects in over 30 countries. 

My final executive assignment with Coca-Cola was as CEO of their one billion dollar bottling company based in Brazil. After creating and managing this company for 8 years, I decided to start my own consulting business based on Eli Goldratt’s Theory of Constraints (TOC) methodology.

In 2002 I launched my consulting firm, dedicated to business strategy and change management for companies across a variety of industries. 

I’ve worked on projects in the fields of education, wood, paper, banking, insurance, logistics, transportation, heavy machinery, agricultural products, construction, energy, retail distribution and consumers products.

I’ve given several lectures at universities, seminars, and conferences while serving as a board member at a variety of Brazilian and international companies.

In 2012, I moved back to Atlanta and established my US-based consulting firm, using TOC methodologies to help clients in the healthcare industry.

In an effort to further achieve my goal of bridging multicultural communication gaps in businesses, I received my graduate certificate in Spanish<>English translation from Georgia State University.

These days I spend my time writing books (like my memoir, Cobwebs) and running an interpretation firm with my wife Margie. Together we help Spanish and Portuguese speakers who need language assistance as they face healthcare and immigration challenges in the USA.
