Craig Taylor, Founder and CEO of Iapetus Holdings and co-founder of Atlas Scholars, on rough beginnings and surmounting life’s obstacles
HOUSTON, November 8, 2021 — Craig Taylor, Founder and CEO of Iapetus Holdings and Co-founder of Atlas Scholars, was featured by the Houston Chronicle in a spotlight covering his upbringing, career, and current work.
“We live in the greatest country in the world, and I believe you owe something back. When do kids from lower socioeconomic backgrounds get the opportunity to be around people that have great lives, that are educated, that have exposure to these kinds of opportunities? The value chain of the energy industry is tremendous. You’ve got engineers, you’ve got traders, you’ve got investment people. I didn’t know about all that growing up and I wanted to give kids the opportunity to be successful without guessing what they had to do all the time. These kids are ambitious. Many of them are first-generation Americans, many of them don’t even speak English, and they don’t have that access. What a feeling to be able to give someone that exposure and watch them grow.”
