About Adam Taylor

Emmy award-winning production executive with 20+ years of experience leading creative, production management, and business operations teams across diverse content formats. I specialize in balancing creative storytelling with operational efficiency to produce engaging, high-quality content that resonates with global audiences. I thrive in fast-paced environments where innovation, collaboration, and strategic planning drive success. I’ve built and led teams delivering premium content for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), National Football League (NFL), Disney ABC Networks, and the PGA TOUR. My expertise spans content development, producing, budget management, production operations, content distribution, client relations, and talent acquisition, ensuring seamless execution of live and recorded productions. At the UFC, I played a pivotal role in developing and expanding the UFC Podcast Network, creating new shows, reviewing pitches, and extending content into live event formats. Managing talent acquisition and distribution strategy, I helped position the UFC as a major player in the podcasting space, broadening its global reach. My experience in technical project management and production operations includes overseeing technical direction, production management, and creative execution. I ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and at the highest quality standards, optimizing workflows and leading cross-functional teams to drive operational excellence. Further, I have led the production of commercials, music videos, and other formats as a producer, production manager, production coordinator, and Assistant Director (AD). I also have a strong background in financial oversight and budget management, overseeing department-wide budgets, including P&L, fiscal planning, forecasting, reporting, and quarterly/year-end closes. I lead production staff in managing project budgets, ensuring financial accountability while maintaining creative excellence. Beyond my primary roles, I work with the NFL Gameday Operations team, first as a Still Photo Technician (Purple Hat) and most recently as an Instant Replay Technician (Gray Hat), overseeing game-day technology. I have volunteered as a youth hockey coach for the Las Vegas Golden Knights and serve as a team treasurer for the Florida Elite Soccer Club. Passionate about pushing the boundaries of content, production, and technology, I’m always looking for opportunities to lead, create, and innovate. Let’s connect and explore how we can shape the future of content together!
