Jim Taylor is the Co-founder and Chief Executive of Proximity Designs – a social business that has created a platform for change in rural Myanmar. The big idea twenty years ago was to treat farmers as customers and design affordable technology and financing so they could escape poverty. After serving over 10 million people across rural Myanmar, the idea still has legs. Jim has also co-founded the Climate Action for Smallholders Coalition (CASH) to address the need for change - reducing harmful emissions and soil degradation - across the global farming system. Jim is has spent the bulk of his career living and working in various parts of the US and in Southeast Asia.
