Taylor (Melbourne, Australia) is a respected social and market researcher. For the past twenty years he has provided advice to Australian governments and large corporations. He was a director of KPMG for four years and ran KPMG’s Centre for Consumer Behavior. As a researcher Brent has always been fascinated with extreme achievers, however he became increasingly frustrated with the lack of explanation as to why extreme achievers are the way they are. His curiosity and drive have led him to write the exciting Outsider’s Edge. Taylor gained a bachelor of Engineering from Auckland University. He then earned an honours degree in psychology at Melbourne University. He is currently a member of the Australian Market and Social Research Society.
