Maryanne Taylor

Founder, Kay & Co

Maryanne began her career in London, one of the most competitive recruitment markets in the world. She built a track record placing high-demand Project Management and Preconstruction professionals in commercial and residential main contractors before bringing that same approach to the US market in 2022.

From one competitive market to another, construction recruitment has always been her speciality, and she knows exactly how to build the best networks in the industry. Since arriving in Boston, she has built a client base of general contractors and developers who hire through Kay & Co and nobody else, repeat relationships built over years.
