When you want a program that transcends the ordinary, you need a speaker who doesn`t regurgitate tired material or canned speeches. Bill Fournet, who is hailed by colleagues as a rising entrepreneur, takes the same innovative approach to his programs as he does to The Persimmon Group LLC, the company he founded by the age of 32. From restaurant manager to CEO, with senior project management and IT positions in between, Bill paved this career path by paying attention to our greatest resource: people. Whether it was through a 10-month turnaround of a restaurant that was $100,000 in debt or managing a $46 million-dollar project with 150 team members, Bill`s experience in managing high-performance teams has directly influenced the unique business philosophy and atmosphere that has created one of the leading small businesses in our region today.

In his 20-year career, Bill has helped enhance numerous Fortune 1000 organizations, including AT&T, IBM, Boeing, and The NORDAM Group. He has held the roles of Business Architect, Program Manager, Project Manager, Senior Business Analyst, Trainer and Business Process Consultant. Drawing from his personal work experiences with leading aerospace, energy, retail, and government entities, Bill has created programs that make him a sought-after speaker on Leadership and Team Development, Business Strategy and Project Management. Bill, a member of the National Speakers Association, is a highly professional yet personable speaker whose youthful energy coupled with a matter-of-fact style has demanded repeat engagements from leading corporations and associations. His sought-after presentations feature a high-level of audience participation, and his shoot-straight-from-the-hip, no-nonsense approach to business is guaranteed to keep the crowd motivated and engaged.
