In this new role, Will manages the team of developers, graphic designers, and support staff, working with them to ensure that the focus of the development team meets the needs reported by the support department from their interactions with our customers. This new collaboration is already showing to have a more significant impact on the work done by both departments. As a result of this, Will can ensure that customers receive the best product and support possible.

He also oversaw the design and development of Wisdom LMS, the Branded and Schooldoor Apps, all of the Campus Life products, and many more.
