Prior to joining Cenlar, Taylor was CEO of his own consulting firm, where he advised C-suite corporate leaders on the need for technology investments to drive transformative growth.

A 35-year veteran in the technology industry, Taylor has a track record of guiding IT transformation, design, deployment, and integration initiatives, including multiple large-scale corporate mergers and acquisitions (M&A) integrations. With his expertise in high-level operational and technical skill sets, Taylor will strategically align the technology plan with the business plan as the company continues to evolve, Cenlar said.

“Steven has a wealth of experience and will be an instrumental partner to the business as we continue to further invest in multiple technologies, including automation that will streamline processes to better serve our employees, clients and their homeowners,” said Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Rob Lux.

Taylor was paramount in several successful M&A transactions, providing expert consulting to executive leaders throughout the transitions, Cenlar said. Before he was a consultant, he held multiple roles at Fidelity National Financial and Fidelity Information Services. Most recently, he was an account & technical delivery executive, where he delivered operational and technical guidance and coaching to a multidisciplinary technical team of over 110 people.

“I am excited to be part of Cenlar," Taylor said. "IT is an integral part of the company and a partner in innovation with the business. My goal is to map out the technology so that it stays as effective and in-line with the company’s growth."
