William Wilkerson

A dedicated product development professional with over 18 years of delivering high performing, innovative products to market. Acting as the voice of the consumer, I work closely with Designers and Engineers to ensure products exceed user’s expectations for comfort and feature performance through data driven decision making, and scientific methods, resulting in new, useful and exciting products.

I have been successful in seeing projects through from the concept phase through production, managing multiple projects simultaneously and responsible for meeting timelines throughout the development process. The joy of evolving a product to the point where the end user experiences excitement from using the product is what drives me every day.
