I have known William for most of his time at Western Digital and found William to be highly competent in very complex and difficult technical disciplines related to HDD's. He consistently demonstrated his leadership ability as he advanced in the organization, and expanded the breadth of what he and his team were responsible for. He was respected and well liked by his team and throughout the world-wide WD organization. In addition to building and leading multiple Engineering disciplines in Asia, William and his teams delivered outstanding value to the business in the form of: new product introductions, product optimization and lifecycle management, and scrap avoidance totaling in the $100M's during my time as the SVP of HDD Operations. In conclusion, William is talented individual who has grown and matured in a very intense, goal driven environment, and is capable of virtually anything that is thrown his way. I would hire William in an instant.
