Bio
John Doz
Bill often refers to his being "totally committed to driving customer-centric consistency and satisfaction across all meetings and events." This may or may not be true of many folks who serve a customer in some way; but it's ABSOLUTELY TRUE of Bill! He has a breadth and depth of experience that few in the motivation and travel incentive field do. Such as: • Leading change across an enterprise-scale function, creating a strong culture within the organization. • Building collaborative partnerships across business units. • Demonstrating managing complex finance tasks including forecasting and project reconciliation. • Developing and implementing a metrics strategy utilizing analytics to determine business impacts. • Overseeing and measuring the management of 3rd party relationships. • Training and developing of meetings and events team members. • Execution. Execution. Execution.

I had the good fortune of working with Bill as Vice President of Sales and Bill always had creative strategies and was completely focused on service to his customers. His passion for the industry shows every day in everything he does. We had the opportunity to work together in multiple industries such as Life Sciences, Automotive and Financial and Bill succeeded in each. He knows our business, knows and understands each clients needs and will deliver and exceed expectations! I would highly recommend Bill as he is very much a man of his word and will deliver any object set forth! Working with Bill is truly a pleasure!
