With his risk management expertise and experience optimizing technical infrastructures, he enables companies to keep pace with the demands of rapid growth. He has a successful history of helping companies such as RagingWire Data Centers and StubHub scale their products, operations, and security. With healthcare being one of the most breached industries, William takes great pride in ensuring that security lapses do not prevent people from receiving the highest quality of care. In his current role as CISO at Omada Health, he co-created the INCLUDES NO DIRT threat model, a model to help evaluate and protect against digital healthcare risks.

Notably, he created an enterprise risk management program that included governance of more than 130 identified risks and 600 established controls.

Additional achievements include creating risk-based information security practices at multiple companies, protecting over $8 billion in online transactions and also spearheading a customer experience strategy that helped net promoter scores consistently exceed 90.
