Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBill Wilder is a seasoned technology leader and CTO with 13+ years focused on building and operating cloud-native software, now centering on the application layer of the AI stack. He blends deep Microsoft Azure expertise (13x Azure MVP, current AI MVP) with cybersecurity credentials (CISSP) and hands-on software architecture authorship (author of Cloud Architecture Patterns). Bill has led product and security teams through startup growth and acquisition as a CTO/CISO, and now consults on AI, Azure Foundry hosting, and GitHub Copilot adoption while mentoring early-stage startups. He founded and still co-runs Boston Azure AI—the world’s first Azure-focused community—and regularly teaches practical workshops on C#/.NET AI development using Semantic Kernel. Less obvious: he keeps credibility by continuing to write production code and has repeatedly translated community work into tangible enterprise impact, from course creation to acquisition outcomes.
