About the Book

Behind The Curtain tells the story of the high-powered tech industry through the eyes of an insider. Jason Taylor spent 18 years with EvolveSecurity, in engineering, as CTO and COO, and finally in sales. For aspiring executives or anyone interested in the workings of a company, Taylor has seen tech from every department's side, and recalls the company's exciting founding, the rocky recession of 2008, high-powered acquisition dealing in the 2010s and finally the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Behind The Curtain offers valuable experiences that show leadership, how to integrate salespeople with engineering, and what can hold a burgeoning tech company back, or launch them skyward.

---

Behind the Curtain represents decades of lessons learned. I explore what it's like to be a part of a tech industry startup, to grow that business over time, and the human dynamics that become a part of any enterprise. I share how to be a successful engineer in alignment with the business you are a part of and how to be a manager who supports that alignment.

For any engineer who struggles with success for non-technical reasons, Behind the Curtain is a resource for you.

For any leader who wants to integrate engineering and non-engineering functions into a cohesive whole, Behind the Curtain can help.

If you enjoy reading about business success, and failure, you will enjoy this book.

If you are like me when I embarked upon this journey and are interested in what it takes to make a business successful in the real world, you will find Behind the Curtain edifying and perhaps even life-changing.

This book is very different from my previous two. End of the Wild is magical realism, set in coastal British Columbia. Ganymede is near-future Sci-Fi / Cyber-punk focused on the future of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and virtual reality. Behind the Curtain is a distillation of my professional life.

Advance feedback has been overwhelmingly supportive and positive. I'm thankful for all the readers whose feedback helped me create this book. Here are some of their thoughts.

"It's an awesome book with great insights."

"I was so surprised to be so hooked, especially during the latter half of the book."

"Totally immersed in it - it's a thrilling read simultaneously scary, emotional and compelling."

"I read it all in one sitting and was totally engrossed."

"Wow, that was an interesting read."

I hope that my experience will serve those of you who strive to accomplish good in the world, building exceptional teams to accomplish exceptional missions.
