What Colleagues
Say
“
I have known Bill for more than 6 years and he has always demonstrated the highest level of professional integrity. He was a mentor to me and to several others on the Messaging Team. He is one of the most dedicated, hardworking and innovative people I have had the pleasure of working with, as he would always find a solution to some very complex issues.

“
I think the two words that best describe Bill’s work are meticulous and forward thinking. All of his work was well thought out, planned, and documented. His ability to look to the future was what I relied upon the most, and he was able to articulate what his vision was and where he thought it would take us.
