In addition to serving as a trusted source of strategic counsel to the Company’s Board of Directors and executive leadership team, Taylor has invested in developing strong teams and mentoring future Dollar General leaders, creating a culture of integrity, collaboration, and excellence across her organization and beyond. Taylor’s impact also extends beyond the business into the lives of Dollar General employees and communities as a Board of Director on the Dollar General Literacy Foundation and the Dollar General Employee Assistance Foundation for many years.
“I will be forever grateful for the opportunities afforded me over the past 26 years at Dollar General. Most of all, I am proud of the extraordinary teams I have been fortunate enough to lead and support, and of all
they do every day to advance the Company’s mission of Serving Others,” said Taylor. “Todd’s direction to his team has always been to leave things better than we found them, and I hope that is what I have done.”
Beyond her contributions to Dollar General, Taylor is widely respected as a leader in the legal profession, retail industry, and greater Nashville community.
