Amber Taylor

For over 20 years I have worked in technology with a focus on improving peoples’ lives. From launching international websites and marketing for TIBCO, to leading the developer community for MuleSoft, to driving digital / live video / AI-led community shopping experiences at Amazon, to creating fitness experiences at Nike and now Les Mills that drive habit, my goal is to inspire, delight, and move people to action. My purpose is to help people live their best lives. My passion is working with high-trust teams who care and invent on behalf of customers – and have fun along the way.

Today I get to lead an amazing team of 150 who build all of the Digital and AI experiences that power Les Mills. We serve 23K gyms around the globe, 100K instructors, and hundreds of thousands of Movers in D2C experiences. I believe science supports humans in pursuing their best life and my goal is to inspire, delight, and move people literally and figuratively.
