Since 2009, he has been responsible for leading the development of entrepreneurship education across MIT at the Martin Trust Center. His first book, Disciplined Entrepreneurship, released in August 2013, has been translated into 18 languages and has been the content for three online edX courses which have been taken by hundreds of thousands of people in 199 countries.

The accompanying follow on book, Disciplined Entrepreneurship Workbook, was released in April 2017.

He has widely published in prestigious publications such as The Wall Street Journal, TechCrunch, The Boston Globe, The Sloan Management Review, The Kauffman Foundation, Entrepreneur Magazine and more. He has been a featured speaker on shows such as CNBC’s Squawk Box, BBC News, Bloomberg News as well as at events and conferences around the world.

He has degrees from Harvard and MIT and is a board member of Mitek Systems and XL Hybrids Inc., as well as a visiting professor at University of Strathclyde in Scotland. On July 1, 2017, Bill was named a Professor of the Practice at MIT Sloan, the first at the school in the area of entrepreneurship since Alex d’Arbeloff was 2003.
