Alright, I suppose I'll offer my own mini-theory on this guy.
There isn't a whole lot on Byron Taylor, but there could potentially be some clues to who he is. I need to point out a few things first. https://twitter.com/StevenManeVox/status/1391214429807775745

The scar on his right eye is interesting. In the art, it makes him look blind. In Cinematic Story Mode, however, while the scar is present, his eye is intact.
I haven't been able to get a good shot of his watch to study, but the ring he wears tells another story: he's likely divorced or separated, still wearing the ring to remind him of his partner.
As his CFN profile states, "He doesn't have much in the way of family due to his attitude towards work, but he does have a small private plane, and five bulldogs to keep him company." https://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column/130091?lang=en
There's also the issue of his name. In both the Japanese and English versions, his name is Byron Taylor. However, the way it's pronounced in Japanese is closer to a title than it is to a name: Baron Terra.
It's possible that Byron Taylor is a pseudonym for his official name.

In other words, Byron could be a double agent for someone else. If he is "Baron Terra", we can assume he's probably working for G because of the Earth motif, and it wouldn't be out of the question... but there's one last thing to consider.
In Issue 2 of @UdonEnt's Street Fighter comic, we see a minor character that only appears in two frames watching Gill giving a live speech to members of the Illuminati.
He shares a few things in common with Byron Taylor. I'll let you figure them out.

My conclusion based on the admittedly circumstantial evidence is that Byron Taylor works for either G or Gill.
I'm wondering if this is one of those "undiscovered secrets" that Nakayama was talking about. https://www.spin.com/2020/10/street-fighter-v-final-season-interview/
