What We Do

  Bill has 35 years of industry experience, including ten as a senior technology leader for a mid-sized electronics company in the HVAC market. He began his career as an electronics design engineer. However, he quickly became a confused, naïve young manager after his first promotion barely four years into the job. With a couple of lucky breaks and some hard work, eventually Bill was promoted to a senior technology leadership position in 2012. 

Bill learned to become a leader and not just a manager in this role. Today, as a leader of eight geographically disparate technology teams, Bill is passionate about the Three C’s of leadership: Coaching, Cheerleading, and Communicating. Always a lifelong learner, Bill pursued a Doctor of Business Administration degree after becoming an empty nester in 2018 and graduated in 2022. Now a practitioner-scholar, Bill’s academic research interests include leadership, organizational culture, and organizational politics. As a practitioner, Bill enjoys helping teams on their transformation journey to become high performing organizations.
