Bio

Having established the business in 2015, William specialises in advising the key stakeholders of both buyers and sellers on deals in the media and technology sectors, utilising his extensive global M&A experience from working on over 100 transactions across 25 countries. With a keen eye on the media sector, William has a passion for disruptive technology and enjoys investing his time in learning about new and exciting tools and products. Beyond M&A, William ensures WY Partners is adopting the latest technologies – developing multiple in-house tools including their online M&A Tracker – and works to ensure technology is at the heart of their processes and client delivery. After qualifying as a Chartered Accountant, he began his M&A career within Deloitte before moving onto Venture Capital investing in high growth technology businesses. In 2010, he joined WPP’s M&A team where he completed over 50 M&A transactions over four years including the transformative acquisition of AKQA.
