William is trained in lean business operating systems and leadership from the companies above. He has a deep understanding of how to apply lean tools in complex cross-functional environments to strengthen relationships and cultivate a Growth Mindset that unifies growth and innovation teams around a common goal. As a BU leader at Danaher, he drove strategy, innovation, product/technology road mapping, and project execution for a complex global product portfolio redesign using Danaher’s core Innovation, UX, VOC, and agile product development processes. At Envista, he led a value creation effort that delivered significant margin improvement across a large product portfolio in preparation for a carve-out process. As a GM at Honeywell, William drove a major manufacturing footprint reduction and SKU rationalization effort using classic 80/20 principles to simplify a complex portfolio and global supply chain while delivering over 200 bps of OMX improvement. In a PE-backed building products manufacturing business, William used the tools and processes from his training to reorganize the commercial team and execute a strategic plan that ultimately resulted in 15–20% YoY growth in a severely negative market environment.

William holds a BS in English and Spanish from the United States Naval Academy and an MBA in General Management from the Darden School of Business at UVA.
