Background

About Taylor McClafferty

I’m Taylor McClafferty, RDA — a Practice Development Manager at Cherry Technologies, where I operate at the intersection of fintech innovation and healthcare delivery. I specialize in deploying scalable financial solutions that expand patient access, optimize provider workflows, and unlock new revenue channels for dental organizations. As the sole author, illustrator, editor, and publisher of Million Dollar Dental Assistant, I created a career roadmap for clinical professionals ready to grow beyond the operatory. The book reflects my entrepreneurial mindset and passion for challenging traditional career paths — a principle that continues to guide my own trajectory. Before joining Cherry, I built my foundation in medtech as a top-performing Territory Manager for Straumann Group and ClearCorrect. I led high-impact growth across competitive markets, educated hundreds of clinicians through CE programs, and consistently exceeded performance benchmarks by aligning field execution with strategic vision. With a background in photography and visual design from Massachusetts College of Art and Design, I bring a rare blend of creative perspective and operational acumen. My strengths lie in market development, cross-functional leadership, B2B strategy, and translating complex problems into actionable solutions. With a proven record of scaling growth in clinical and tech environments, I’m actively building toward a long-term career in tech leadership. At Cherry, I continue to deepen this path through strategic execution in healthcare fintech — pairing innovation with impact to shape what’s next.
