Robin Taliaferro

Robin Taliaferro's career stretches from Massachusetts, where he earned his MBA, to Silicon Valley, where he spent decades advising corporate executives. He's a capital gains and estate tax planning executive, and his work advising clients in California now covers more than five decades. As CEO of his practice, he now specializes in tax strategies for the sale of a business, built around the Structured Installment Sale. Senior technology executives came to know him for the way he helped them unwind concentrated positions in their own company's stock while minimizing or deferring capital gains tax. That path began in 1968, when Robin Taliaferro completed his MBA at the Babson Institute in Wellesley, Massachusetts. He entered the U.S. Army the same year. From 1968 to 1971, he served in Vietnam as a first lieutenant in the infantry. His professional career got underway in 1971, once his military service was behind him.
