Sales Representative

Are you an agency owner, executive, or entrepreneur who feels like you’re constantly spinning your wheels, feeling alone and questioning your decisions, and wishing your team was performing at a higher level? I want you to know this is typical and where many of my clients are when they come to me. On the outside, you want to give the impression that you have it all together, but on the inside, you feel frustrated, chaotic, and like you're about to lose your mind any minute. It's common that with growth, what was working may not be working like it used to. Let's talk about solving these problems.

I work with leaders and their teams who are growing and trying to navigate new waters. I help high-performance leaders and their teams conquer challenging situations & maximize potential with Clear-Minded Focus, Calm Control, and Confidence.

Alex said, "Without question the greatest coach I’ve ever had. He’s helped me stay grounded, focus on what matters, and given me the tools to not only be a better leader, but a better husband, father, and human being."

Clients come to me when: 

➡️They lack clear-minded focus around direction or challenges in their business or with their team
➡️They feel chaotic, stressed out, and are losing sleep at night
➡️They get no break from their business
➡️They are overthinking, doubting themselves, and undermining their own confidence
➡️They avoid conflict or deal with it in unhealthy ways
➡️They struggle with turnover and churn on their team
➡️They see that their team is not performing at the level they want, but they're not sure what to do differently
➡️They are not hitting their revenue and profit goals despite their best efforts and longer hours
➡️They want better communication strategies between their leaders and teams

All of these things can shake your confidence and start breaking your business. Your team will feel it, and your clients will eventually begin to experience a lower return on investment.

Marilyn said, "I run a growing team and have worked with William for over 6 months. His sessions are insightful, thought-provoking, and calming. I look forward to every call with William."

With my Catalytic 3C Accelerator method, I help you conquer challenging situations and maximize potential with Clear-Minded Focus, Calm Control, and Confidence so you can build an unbreakable, unshakeable business. See how @catalyticleadership.net

Founder & CEO

Octal 7 Corporation

Board Member

Franklin Pierce University

Giving back to my profession is important to me, and teaching is one way I can help shape and mentor the next generation of technology leaders. As an Instructor, I teach Information Technology and Health Informatics courses in FPU's MBA, MS and BS Programs. This requires me to stay on top of changes in my industry, as my students look to me to be a relevant subject matter expert. Although I teach them, they force me to evolve and look at issues from a different perspective, which helps me grow as a leader.

Forbes Technology Council

Forbes Technology Council is an invitation-only organization comprised of elite CIOs, CTOs and technology executives, hand-selected by the Council's selection committee. As a member, I contribute to Forbes on the topics related to Technology, Digital Innovation, Cybersecurity, Business Strategy, and more.

Offical Member

National Non-Profit Healthcare Organization

As CIO, I led the planning, management, support, and security of my organization's technology and information systems. I developed the organization's technology strategy and business goals collaboratively with our executive team. I then created the roadmap to meet those objectives, allowing the organization to grow in its mission of providing high-quality, affordable healthcare.

Upon joining the organization, I identified and anticipated end-user and patient complaints about our technology and processes. Subsequently, I led a refresh of the organization’s entire infrastructure and end-user computing environments. This effort achieved a gold-standard level of operational and cybersecurity excellence, and we successfully deployed telehealth, population health, and BYOD solutions across our six-state service area. 

To ensure project success, I implemented governance and standards and advocated using advanced data to drive business decisions and outcomes. As part of this effort, we collectively created a Business Intelligence program and introduced automation, dashboards, and predictive analytics to the organization.

As a customer-focused organization, we researched and developed a patient engagement initiative with enhanced communication capabilities and an interactive online module that automated our processes. These efforts reduced patient wait times, increased time-of-service payment collections, and improved patient and staff satisfaction.

Recognized by Computerworld as a Premier 100 Technology Leader, I also helped lead the deployment of the organization’s first mobile health app which won CIO Magazine’s “CIO 100” Award, acknowledging companies that have distinguished themselves through the innovative use of technology.

Manager of Information Technology (CIO accountability)

Fluxis Technology Consulting

Founded in 1992, Fluxis Tech was a pioneering application developer, notably introducing one of the healthcare industry's first medical transcription and dictation systems. This early innovation set the stage for our expansion into a comprehensive provider of advanced information technology solutions, including network design and consulting, cutting-edge communications services and products, dynamic Internet/Intranet development, robust network management and support, and tailored application development.

As the CEO of a funded startup, the critical question is: 

How do you grow your infrastructure to keep up with your fast expansion without losing sight of what really matters, like standing out and innovating?

In today's fast-paced, tech-driven market, there are key areas on which you must focus:

𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝗲: Scalability is about making sure your tech can grow with you, handling increased traffic and data while keeping everything running smoothly

𝗦𝗺𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Fast and reliable tech is key to keeping everything running like clockwork, ensuring your customers are happy and your team is on point

𝗔𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗢𝗻: Keeping your systems running all the time is essential, making sure your business can keep going without interruptions, avoiding any loss of sales or damage to your reputation due to tech issues

As a fractional CIO, I keep my finger on the pulse of the industry. Here are four trends you need to be aware of:

➀ 𝗡𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀: Knowing the investment scene helps us make wise tech choices that pay off.

➁ 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗔𝗻𝘆𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲: Strong tech support is necessary for a team as more people work remotely.

➂ 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: Embracing the latest tech, like AI and cloud services, can make a big difference in flexibility and keeping things running.

➃ 𝗥𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗱 𝗖𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗘𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Keeping up with the latest ways to protect your business and customer data is non-negotiable.

Having worked with many funded startups, I’m guessing that you’re:

🚫 Feeling unsure if your tech can handle your business getting bigger, afraid it might slow down or stop working when you need it most.

🚫 Having anxiety that your tech may not deliver the expected level of performance, which could make customers unhappy and mess up your day-to-day operations.

🚫 Concerned about tech breaks and downtime stopping your business in its tracks, which could mean losing money and not hitting investment targets.

🚫 Worried about cybersecurity threats and the chance of a security issue that shakes your customers' trust in you and damages your business's good name.

As your fractional CIO, I am here to help steer through these tech challenges. We’ll create and maintain a robust IT infrastructure that meets current needs and prepares for future growth, ensuring your business’s success without compromising performance, security, or scalability.

I founded Agile Tech Advisors to provide businesses with the guidance and expertise they need to navigate the challenges and capitalize on the opportunities presented by technology. My extensive experience in IT leadership and consulting has shown me that companies need a strategic and proactive approach to technology management to thrive.

Agile Tech Advisors takes a value-driven approach to technology management, delivering tangible benefits and measurable outcomes that directly impact the bottom line. Our deep technical expertise and proactive approach enable us to facilitate innovation, streamline processes, and uncover growth opportunities while addressing potential cybersecurity and compliance risks.

Central to our approach is building meaningful relationships based on trust, integrity, and a deep understanding of your business. We do not believe in “technology for technology’s sake.” Your technology roadmap must align with the business and have clearly defined and agreed-upon goals. We take the time to understand your unique needs and offer customized solutions that maximize the effectiveness of your technology strategy and set the foundation for long-term success.

When you work with Agile Tech Advisors, you can expect measurable improvements in your business operations. Our results-driven approach, technical expertise, risk mitigation strategies, and commitment to building genuine relationships enable us to deliver maximum value from your technology investments.
