Digital Risk was created in October 2004 and sold to Mphasis in 2012. But Taylor remained on board as managing director of what is now called Mphasis Digital Risk. He has also been active in the Mortgage Bankers Association and appeared regularly on media outlets like CNBC.

"After 22 extraordinary years, I have stepped away from Digital Risk," Taylor's LinkedIn post began.  "I have often joked that Digital Risk was my firstborn. Saying goodbye to something I poured so much of my life into is far more emotional than I ever imagined."

National Mortgage News reached out to the company for a comment.

He is currently a member of the MBA board and served as MORPAC chairman in 2021 and 2022. The post said he will continue serving with the MBA Open Door Foundation.

His LinkedIn bio said he is a member of Sagent's board.

From 1999 through 2004, Taylor was the founding partner of Rapid Reporting Verification and prior to this, the founder of American Transfer & Trust.

"To my founding partners — and every teammate, client, partner, and friend who believed in us —thank you for helping turn an idea into something truly special," Taylor wrote in the LinkedIn post.

He said teaming with Mphasis was the start of "a remarkable second chapter" for Digital Risk.

"To everyone at Mphasis, it has been a true privilege," he said. "Together, we accomplished more than I ever thought possible."  The post indicated Taylor was stepping back from the business but did not specify his next steps. Although he did say it was now time to be fully present for his wife Jaclyn, whom he thanked, and their sons Landon and Preston.

"I leave with tremendous pride, a full heart, and a lifetime of memories," the post concluded. "I look forward to seeing many of you on a golf course or youth baseball field somewhere."
