Bill started his career with Lockheed Georgia then went to SDRC, the company best known for I-DEAS software and Metaphase. SDRC was acquired by EDS in 2001. EDS spun off the CAD business as UGS which was later acquired by Siemens PLM.

“I wanted to be an aerospace engineer,” said Bill, who has an engineering degree. “But there was a downturn in the aerospace industry in the 70’s.”

Bill worked closely with Dave Taylor at Siemens PLM. Where Bill was in charge of marketing strategy, Dave was in charge of its execution. Bill worked directly for John Miller.

Bill’s successor has not been named.
