Only the second person to lead the FI$Cal project, Barbara Tayor assumed her position as project executive in January 2012 when Michael Reyna left government service.

Taylor has a bachelor’s degree in business administration with a concentration in accounting from California State University, Sacramento. She worked for the state Department of Finance for nine years as a budget analyst, principal program budget analyst and assistant budget program manager before joining FI$Cal in 2009 and serving as the partner business executive for the Finance department.

She was elevated to her current position after Michael Reyna left his leadership position and the job was split into project executive and project director positions. In her current role, Taylor will be the face of the project, acting as liaison to the Legislature, stakeholders and the public. She will also be the liaison between FIS$Cal and the four government entitiies that are partnering on the project—Department of Finance, the State Controller's Office, the State Treasurer's Office and the Department of General Services—while providing oversight and leadership of her team.   

Taura Armstrong is the project director.
