Taylor Cantwell is a creative professional with a dedicated passion for brand strategy, relationship building and captivating storytelling. Taylor most recently served as a Senior Manager of Brand and Communications at Fermata Energy, an intelligent Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) bidirectional charging platform services provider.

Previously, Taylor was the Director of Marketing and Communications at Romeo Power, Inc. (NYSE: RMO), where she launched the organization's rebrand and managed brand strategy, public relations, internal communications and events. Romeo Power, Inc. was acquired by Nikola Corporation (NASDAQ: NKLA).
Prior to Romeo Power, Taylor led domestic and international marketing communications at Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems, Inc., now known as Terran Orbital Corporation (NYSE: LLAP), where she also contributed significant content to successful proposals, including the NASA Rapid IV Catalog IDIQ.

What people are saying.
“Taylor first worked on my team at Ideanomics where she quickly proved to be one of those people you know you'll want to work with for the rest of your career. Having now worked with her in multiple organizations and client engagements, I can genuinely say that she's one in a million and just gets things done. I cannot emphasize her strategic AND tactical communications capabilities enough, as she has infinite capacity to think big picture while never letting a detail slip - a very rare combination as most of us are more adept at one versus the other. Her true gift, though, is being able to work with anyone and everyone even in the most challenging or time sensitive situations. Her relationship management skills are best in class, never losing her patience or professionalism in trying to keep everyone on track as a cohesive unit. Taylor's work ethic and reliability will motivate everyone else on the team, both internally and externally, using her authentic leadership style which everyone is drawn to. An organization of any size or growth stage would benefit from her inclusion as a marketing and communications leader.”

“When I found my own company, Taylor will be the first person I would want to hire and have become a partner in the venture. Having spent a great deal of time working and communicating with her on complex project planning and management, I know firsthand that her amazing creativity, absolute professionalism, good cheer, flawless communications, and intuitive attention to detail will result in success for any company fortunate enough to count her among their number. More than just being excellent in her work, Taylor is a joy to collaborate with and brings a level of kindness and humor that is rare to find anywhere, and especially wonderful when it enhances team and project functioning to bring deliverables to completion in a rapid and stress-free manner; truly priceless. Taylor is guaranteed to excel in all future endeavors, and it is my hope that my future projects will benefit from her collaboration.”

“Taylor worked for me as a Customer Experience Specialist at Karma Automotive. What I loved the most about Taylor in the early days of our relationship is her tenacity. Despite there being no job openings on my team when she first made contact, she made a genuine effort to stay engaged with Karma's progress and the development of my team. We had tea every couple of months and when a role came up, she was the natural first call for me. Once she started her role, she quickly showed herself to be a genuine marketing superstar; immensely focused, detail-oriented and 100% committed to anything she takes on. Throughout her tenure at Karma, she made it her business to understand how to work with agencies and new internal resources, delivering above expectation on countless tasks beyond her scope. She also worked hard to learn more about marketing in general - graphic design, production, print – anything that would help her deliver against her objectives in a more productive way. She's a sponge and very effective in implementing what she learns to great effect. On a personal note, she's a wonderfully warm and thoughtful colleague to be around. She goes above and beyond to make sure her team members are happy and will support those struggling without ever asking for anything in return. She was a real asset to my team and I would highly recommend her skills for those looking to enhance their team.”

“Taylor is an amazing Marketing professional. I saw firsthand how relentless she was in performing her job, all while working under typical constraints that are part of any New Space company (primarily constrained resources and support staff). Taylor performed her job incredibly well as a one-person marketing machine; her attention to detail, project management approach, excellent communication skills, and respect/rapport with Senior Leadership allowed her to flourish in her role. Taylor is also the consummate professional who works hard, is respectful of other people's time, and does whatever it takes to get the job done even if it means extra hours. She would be a valuable asset to any company, because she embodies that complete can-do attitude.”

“I worked with Taylor at Tyvak when I was the Vice President of Defense Space Systems. Taylor is a creative and passionate marketing genius! I was amazed at her ability to innovate ways to reach clients (and company staff too!). Her communication techniques really work and I have seen the power of her work first hand. Always impressive. Always flawless.”

Business Development Director, Defense Space at SAIC
“I had the pleasure of partnering with Taylor Cantwell on various culture initiatives while working at Tyvak. I was always impressed with her enthusiasm for people/culture, her passion for company branding, and her creative, out-of-the-box contributions. Taylor was organized, reliable, and extremely detail-oriented in every task she was assigned. Beyond assisting with internal marketing, Taylor also handled all of Tyvak’s external marketing efforts. This included a complete website overhaul & rebranding, press releases for Tyvak launches/announcements, international marketing campaigns, trade show management, and all external corporate messaging. Taylor is a team player who has impeccable work ethic and takes pride in the quality of work she produces. She is a true professional in every sense of the word. Without hesitation, I’d strongly recommend Taylor Cantwell to any company and I sincerely hope our professional paths cross again someday.”

“Taylor is a joy to work with. She’s the type of person who becomes your rock and who is always willing to lend a helping hand. Her attention to detail and willingness to do whatever it takes to get the job done even when it’s not her job, is something I really love and appreciate about her. Taylor was not my direct report, but was often tasked with helping me produce large, multi-volume, multi-million-dollar proposals. I really don’t know what I would have done without her. She often worked late nights and, on the weekends, to help me produce winning, compelling and compliant proposals. She also helped me win the NASA Rapid IV IDIQ, allowing Tyvak to bid on contracts worth $6 billion. Taylor has a lot of good qualities, but what I love the most about her is that you can count on her. There aren’t a lot of people that I would trust completely with my work while out sick or on vacation. A lot of times when people take over your work, they end up causing more work for you. That’s never the case with Taylor. She delivers the same quality you would, if not better. For these reasons and more, I highly recommend her. Any company should consider themselves lucky to have her.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Taylor for a year at a top-volume Tesla Delivery Center, collaborating on many deliveries. Taylor’s ability to handle multiple projects was unlike any I’ve seen before and made a dramatic increase in the productivity level of our location. No matter how tense a client orientation, Taylor made sure everyone left with a smile which led to a top global ranking. As a team member or a leader, Taylor is an asset.”
