Founder of Monster.com & Eons.com

When Jeff Taylor has a vision, it becomes a reality. As founder of Monster.com, the 454th registered dot-com, he envisioned it as a giant online job search board and turned it into the first and only globally recognized brand for careers, changing the face of employment and the Internet forever.

Tributes is focused on local and national obituary news. Taylor sold Eons in April 2011.
