If you say "BillD," you hear what I do.
I consult with private B2B business owners to build the company they're proud of — and grow with time and financial freedom, toward the future they intend.
A profoundly valuable experience happened early in my career when I introduced "Resources Management" in a factory with 5 unions and 3,500 people. RM catalyzes productive collaborations and helps people find better ways. We spent $10k to pilot it with 48 people and it yielded $1.2 million in 90 days — no jobs lost. Its lessons have rippled through my entire business life and spawned a relentless search for better ways.
That experience catalyzed 30+ years of people-first business consulting: Director of Management Development at a Fortune 100 firm; Associate Partner at a Big 4; Regional VP at a mid-size consultancy; and independent consultant since 9/11.
Long story short — while helping clients get better business results, I've grown toward conscious capitalism: purpose-driven, people-first, planet-responsible, stakeholder-responsive. Running a business this way as a force for good attracts valuable investors, customers, and employees while creating a more secure future for all.
