Bill’s began his career as an academic and practicing clinical psychologist, teaching and conducting research at Cornell University Medical College and Fordham University, where he received tenure in 1994. At the same time, Bill started a software and services company to manage healthcare outcomes, which he grew and subsequently sold to an enterprise healthcare information system company.  He served on their executive management team as the head of professional services and expanded the business unit to generate 25% of annual corporate revenues through consulting, implementation, training, and support functions.

Bill’s depth of knowledge of psychological science and hands-on experience as an entrepreneur and general manager sets the tone for the organization as a whole.
