William Buist is Managing Director of Abelard – a South Wales company helping start-ups and SMEs to network and collaborate using social media tools.
Before discovering the social web, William held a raft of senior posts with Lloyds TSB Insurance, then moved to a career in corporate change management.
Since 2004, he’s been working with social tools and paying strong attention to online community development. His successes include the growth of Ecademy’s Life Members Community – a premium group of entrepreneurs and business owners.
William also focuses on collaborative development, and helping clients to use social media for core business tasks such as marketing, referrals, analysis and research.
Recently, William has found himself drawn towards Google Plus. He says, “Because of Google’s reach and innovation, there’s a massive opportunity for small and medium businesses – a chance to engage online in ways that we haven’t seen before.”
Away from the web, William is a keen photographer and saxophone player, with a love of all things jazz.
