ATTOM Data Solutions VP Of Marketing Kara Taylor Named 2020 Woman Of Influence By HousingWire
Taylor recognized for her significant contributions and outstanding efforts in leadership driving the U.S. housing economy forward
IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- ATTOM Data Solutions, curator of the nation's premier property database, is pleased to announce its vice president of marketing, Kara Taylor, has been named a 2020 Woman of Influence by HousingWire. This unique annual program, the first such national effort of its kind, was launched to honor high-achieving women across the U.S. housing economy – from residential mortgage lending, servicing, technology, and investments, to real estate.
The recipients of the tenth annual Women of Influence awards were selected by HousingWire's Editorial Selection Committee based on their professional achievements within their organizations, but contributions to the overall industry, community outreach, client impact and personal success also factored into the committee's decision.
Taylor is featured on the cover of the August 2020 issue of HousingWire Magazine and quoted in the lead article which looks at how the current public health crisis and consequent economic fallout has forced a "reckoning of authenticity' for the housing industry. According to the article, in this moment, it's women in marketing, communications and human resources – those often-underestimated 'soft skills' – whose strengths lead companies' effective responses. It's people – usually women – in those roles who become the voice of the company that reassures, directs, finds a new way forward together.
The article describes how Taylor has navigated through the crisis, and how skills traditionally attributed to women have been front and center in keeping ATTOM on track, people on task, and customers and business partners confident of the company's ability to quickly rally a response. The mechanics of remote collaboration are the least of Taylor's worries. As VP of marketing for ATTOM, she took the lead in ensuring that the firm's staff – mainly quantitative-minded analysts and number crunchers – felt the support.
"It's nurturing that women tend to be better at and that's what this situation calls for," notes Taylor. "A health care crisis on such a huge scale is intrinsically threatening at an elemental level. That means that employee communication is really about reassurance; frightened people can't concentrate. In such situations, women intuitively gravitate toward communication - lots of it, in lots of different ways, on lots of different levels."
Taylor has played a key role in ATTOM's recent strategic initiatives to bring more comprehensive real estate data to the marketplace, including the acquisitions of Home Junction Inc. in July 2020 and Onboard Informatics in February 2018. Taylor also played a key role in ATTOM's acquisition by private equity-firm Lovell Minnick Partners in January 2019, to position the company for strategic growth. Each of these initiatives were driven by the company's mission to provide premium property data that fuels innovation and arms businesses and consumers with real estate data solutions that drive profitable business decisions and sustain growth.
