Prior to Journyx, he held leadership and executive positions at several public and private venture-capital backed firms, including Trusted Information Systems (TISX, now NET), Haystack Labs, Power Computing and Dell. At Dell, Bill worked in the Office of the Chairman on several key strategic initiatives.

Before Dell, Bill worked as a management consultant at McKinsey and Company, where he served clients in North America, South America, and Europe across a wide range of industries.
