"People are inherently good and wish to achieve; I want to be part of their achievements."
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Bill brings over thirty years of executive experience in the computer and technology industry to his Insigniam consulting. Bill began his association with us as a client when he was a Vice President and General Manager at Control Data Corporation (CDC). Bill hired Insigniam to elevate the performance of his 1,800-person business unit.

In addition, it enabled the division to achieve the Minnesota Quality Award in 1995. Bill's prowess in leading a transformation in performance at Control Data is acknowledged in The Eye for Innovation by R.M. Price, former CEO of CDC.
Bill was also the COO of Factory Motor Parts Company (FMP), a privately-held distributor of auto parts. At FMP he led a successful ERP implementation and helped establish 40 new warehouse distribution outlets.

- Working with senior players of the Israeli military and technical communities as a board member of Elbit
- Manufacturing and supporting all mission computers for the U.S. Navy's F-18 and F-14 fighter planes
- Managing international finance and systems operations in over 35 countries, as Vice President of CDC's International Operations
- Leading a new line of business, which eventually earned annual revenues of $500 million
