Will Faithfull
CEO at ExaDev
Lancaster, England, United Kingdom
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWill Faithfull is a hands-on CEO and engineer with 11 years of experience who grew ExaDev from two grad students in a bedroom into a multi-country software consultancy, Google supplier, and serial startup practice spanning SaaS, AI, and fintech. Holding a Ph.D. in Computer Science, he blends deep research-rooted technical expertise with practical delivery as both CEO and principal engineer. His career includes embedded roles as fCTO for startups across San Francisco, London and Manchester and multi-year engagements delivering data engineering and ML capabilities into HMRC and Google Labs. Will repeatedly bridges academia and industry—shifting between founding startups, technical leadership, and embedded consulting—so he’s equally comfortable designing architectures and shipping production systems. Based in Lancaster, he has a track record of turning modest beginnings into reputable partners for large organisations, often working through ExaDev as the delivery vehicle. A bias toward building at exa-scale hints at a long-term focus on systems designed for extreme growth and data volume.
