Tracy Taylor, a director of Urigen and chairman of the board of directors, serves as president and chief executive officer of Kansas Technology Enterprise Corporation, or KTEC, a private-public partnership dedicated to stimulating technology-based economic development in the State of Kansas. Mr. Taylor's extensive corporate and entrepreneurial experience has been integral to the success of KTEC. After his initial position in corporate finance at Ford Motor Company, Mr. Taylor jointed United Telecom in 1982 to work on the company's mergers and acquisitions. Less than two years later, Mr. Taylor was selected to a 12-person team that developed a business plan for what eventually became the Sprint Corporation. As Sprint grew into a Fortune 100 company, Mr. Taylor played a leadership role in the management side, serving as the treasurer of US Sprint. Mr. Taylor led the regional site selection for Sprint's World Headquarters in Overland Park, Kansas, which covers over 300 acres and holds more than 16,000 employees. Mr. Taylor graduated from Bethany College and received his M.B.A. degree from the University of Kansas. Mr. Taylor's experience in business, entrepreneurial endeavors and technology-oriented business growth place him in a position to contribute to a wide variety of boards and organizations. While Mr. Taylor has served on several boards across the state and country, his most recent contributions have been on the Enterprise Center of Johnson County, a working incubator focused on the commercialization of technology; Mid-America Manufacturing Technology Center (MAMTC); KansasBio; and Catalyst Lighting, a publicly-traded company. Mr. Taylor has served on Urigen's board of directors since December 2005.
