Ken Taylor is the founder and Chairman of public consulting firm Taylor and Ryan.

He is best known for his role in the 1979 covert operation called the Canadian Caper when he was the Canadian ambassador to Iran. With the cooperation of the American Central Intelligence Agency, Taylor helped six Americans escape from Iran during the hostage crisis by getting Canadian passports for the Americans to get past the Iranian Revolutionary guard by posing the six as a Canadian film crew scouting locations for their film.
