About Taylor Gillespie

From as early as I can remember, I always wanted to be a teacher. I wanted to help others connect the dots, and play a part in building the next generation. While I didn’t become a teacher in a literal sense, my desire to coach and empower others has been a consistent thread throughout my career. Today, it fuels my passion for helping teams build confidence, set healthy boundaries, and thrive.For over 20 years, I’ve built a track record of driving results across sales, marketing, strategic transformation, and supply chain at ExxonMobil. I’ve led global teams, shaped business strategy, negotiated complex multimillion-dollar deals, helped drive cost leadership, and led through significant change.I’m equally proud of the culture and confidence I’ve helped build along the way. I believe the best leaders bring both heart and clarity, leading with transparency, building trust, and setting a powerful example for what it looks like to succeed. I’m passionate about redefining what leadership looks like, especially for working moms navigating complex lives and careers. A few highlights:• 20 years as a top performer and leader across multiple functions and business units at ExxonMobil• Deep expertise in sales, marketing, sales operations, planning and business transformation.• Proven success in driving value across customers, teams and shareholders• Known for building trust, simplifying complexity, and coaching others to grow with confidence.• Passionate about redefining senior leadership in Oil & Gas —especially for women in STEM
