Kevin Taft Politician
Kevin Taft (born September 9, 1955) is a best-selling author, consultant, speaker, and former provincial politician in Alberta, Canada. He holds a Ph.D. in Business from the University of Warwick. He acquired extensive public policy experience between 1973 and 2000 in the Alberta Government, private sector, and non-profit sector, particularly in health, energy, and economic policy. From 1986 to 1991 he was CEO of the ExTerra Foundation, which mounted one of history's largest paleontological expeditions in China's Gobi Desert, Alberta's badlands, and the Canadian Arctic. He is the author of four books and many research studies and articles on political and economic issues in Alberta, and has been credited with reviving Alberta's stagnant political discourse in the mid 1990s.
