Special Edition with Bill Williams

Written By Rick Watson

Welcome to a Special Edition non-weekly episode of the Watson Weekly!  This is the start of a new series where every few months, we will be doing interviews with a series of interesting people.

I get asked from time to time about having guests on the show, as it would allow me to do a deeper dive on topics that perhaps I only have a few minutes to cover in a typical show.

This week’s guest is none other than Bill Williams.  Bill is the founder and CEO of BWG Strategy, a firm which connects industry professionals in eCommerce, technology, and other areas and investment analysts who would like to learn more about the industry.  They host thousands of calls per year across all sorts of interesting eCommerce topics such as advertising, payments and supply chain.

This episode dives into his background, an overview of the firm, as well as a few key areas of eCommerce related to advertising and payments.

That’s all for this week! Till next time Watsonians.....
