Nicole Taylor was born in a small Australian coal mining town called Cessnock in 1972, the 2nd eldest daughter of a young couple full of life, optimism and ambition. Whilst her memories are positive of that time, her mum and dad divorced when Nicole was only 8 years old and she entered a new world with an abusive step father (but with a Mum who refused to be a victim and give in to his destructive ways). Today, she is one of the very few female advertising leaders as Australian CEO of McCann World Group - one of the world's great advertising brands. Nicole has a young daughter with her wife. This nature loving pioneer, still calls her late mum her hero and is everything the boys club isn't!
