His passion is unmatched and keeps him sharpening his toolkit of knowledge in learning and sharing it to improve vendor products, solutions and customer's Enterprise Information Security Programs. Vik Muiznieks vikmuizniels@gmail.com Southern New Hampshire University When I think about who I'd like to have as a CISO, Bill bubbles quickly to the top of a very short list. He has a very broad, deep and strategic view of the security landscape (complemented by a business perspective to match), but can get down into the weeds and sort through the details quickly if and when necessary (and it frequently is necessary...). He also cares deeply about his staff, encourages continuous development and training, and tries to make things fun at the same time. Doesn't hurt that his Mensa scores/skills are second to none, either... Chris Tangora chris.tangora@gmail.com MIT Lincoln Lab I worked with Bill before and into the 2020 Pandemic and saw first hand his strategic views being put into action. Bill urges and facilitates his team to design & develop a security infrastructure to achieve overarching goals. I appreciated Bill’s confidence and candor. Michael Todino michael_todino@hotmail.com MIT Lincoln Lab Bill brings a wealth of knowledge on multiple domains within the cyber and IT areas. His ability to measure risk vs usability is a key towards striking a balance between the two for organizations to protect their data while enabling their staff to work more collaboratively. Bill is also a person of high integrity and solid values. The development and well being of his staff is paramount while he embraces a diversity of ideas and welcomes different perspectives towards problem solving. Bill is a great addition for any organization looking to modernize and develop their cyber program. David Abotchie david.abotchie@stopahack.com Stop A Hack I had the honor of working under Bill's leadership at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. Bill consistently impressed me with his strategic vision, transparent decision-making, and unwavering commitment to our mission. His ability to inspire his team and drive results is truly exceptional. I wholeheartedly recommend Bill for any leadership role or initiative he chooses to undertake. His dedication and prowess in leadership are second to none. Peter Brookman pbrookman@gmail.com CDI LLC I have had the pleasure of working with Bill over the past 3 years. Bill’s command over security and regulatory compliance is extremely impressive. Bill has the rare ability to understand the various compliance (NIST, ISO…) complexities and translate those into business priorities. As a revenue producer who predominantly sells to C-level executives I was fortunate to have Bill on my team. Executives appreciated Bill’s pragmatic approach to problem-solving and his partnership helped me quickly build trust and confidence among our clients/prospects. George Romas george.romas@mantech.com Mantech Bill worked for me as an Enterprise/Security/Cloud Architect, developing solutions for our US Public Sector customers - while building a cybersecurity lab for our organization. He easily grasps the complexities of architecting solutions according to stringent security policies, controls and requirements, and does extremely well in communicating these concepts to any audience. He is a strategic thinker that can also incorporate the details in the solutions he develops. Michael Schwartz Micro Focus I have worked with Bill for close to a decade crossing paths along various client engagements. Bill is very articulate and possesses great knowledge with respect to IT Security, Process, and Policy. A forward thinking individual that would be a great asset to any service organization, think tank, or CTO role Wayne Wright wayne_wright@msn.com Microsoft Bill is an amazing security guru. He is adept at designing, architecting and implementing secure IT environments at all levels of FISMA. I really believe that Bill has the NIST security documents, DISA STIGs, FedRAMP controls, and the Security Risk Management framework memorized. And, perhaps his most important characteristic, he can explain the value and the rationale of security practices to those of us who are challenged by the esoteric nuances of security. Pamela Foster Brady pamelafbrady@gmail.com University of Texas at Austin Bill is a high level thinker - always two to three steps removed from the task and looking at the greater picture. He's free-spirited with a great sense of humor. He was a high performance team member and delivered excellent work on time. Kevin Lawson klawson@ftautocredit.com First Texas Auto Credit Bill and I worked together on several projects together at the University of Texas - Dallas. Bill was always diligent in his preparation and he brought different view points to improve our strategic execution. An example of Bill's solid contribution was when he took the lead on a project to develop the framework and outline which helped keep us organized and focused on the end result. Bill is a great contributor and creative thinker, I highly recommend his abilities. Rachael Babcock rachael.babcock@gmail.com MetsiLabs Bill is a strategic thinker and analyst. You can give him any software or technology and he will quickly understand how it works in detail, and the business and technical implications of an implementation. Bill keeps up to date on the many industry trends and always has a cutting edge and progressive view on security, architecture, and various technologies. I would highly recommend him to lead or be part of the technical team of any major corporation, where cutting edge technologies and business is crucial for market place differentiation. 2024 WilliamWeber All rights reserved.
