Ephren W. Taylor II: America's Youngest African American CEO of a Public Company
Ephren W. Taylor II is the youngest African-American CEO of any publicly traded company ever--City Capital Corporation (OTCBB:CCCN). Described as “walking black history” by popular radio show host Tom Joyner, Taylor started his first business venture at age 12, when he began making videogames. By age 17, he built a multi-million dollar technology company; GoFerretGo.com.
At City Capital Corporation, Taylor oversees over $150 million in assets, serving a diverse client list ranging from Wall Street investors, top executives, professional athletes and even entertainment icons. His concepts on empowering local communities with both profitable and socially-conscious investing and development have made him a frequently requested speaker and panelist for events such as the Wall Street Economic Summit and the Congressional Black Caucus. Taylor is also a well-known guest expert broadcasting to millions of households on local and national television and radio shows including CNBC’s Big Idea, FOX News' Your World with Neil Cavuto, Bulls & Bears and the Doug Bank’s Morning Show. He currently hosts the "Soul of Success" radio show now airing on XM Satellite Radio Station on Family Talk 170XM. Taylor’s appeal stretches beyond the United States borders, as he frequently receives interview and appearance requests from international entities, such as the London-based Wealth Monitor and BBC.
Recently, Taylor launched a 25-city “Urban Wealth Tour” promoting economic empowerment, affordable housing and entrepreneurship in urban communities. The tour brings together private investors, educators, non profit organizations, religious institutes, and government forces to create positive change in urban communities. Beyond his unprecedented accomplishments in the technology and financial industry, Taylor is an author, inspirational speaker and real estate mastermind. He has already authored five e-books and was recently signed by business publishing powerhouse Wiley to release his first book in winter 2007.
Taylor has been asked to create a specialized curriculum for high school and college-aged aspiring entrepreneurs at America's oldest Historically Black College and University, Cheney University, in celebration of their 170th anniversary. The Ephren W. Taylor II Entrepreneur Academy opens in July 2007. A true "wealth engineer," Taylor is rapidly emerging for generation X and Y what Warren Buffet is for baby boomers; the premier financial expert for a generation.
