WILLIAM J. SIMPLER

Bill is a native of Boston. While not a Brahmin, he was raised Roman Catholic, he identifies with the City of Boston’s vast academic and cultural richness. Curious by nature, Bill finds that he is a “tourist” anywhere he goes — whether it’s downtown Boston exploring both new and old architecture or finding himself in an obscure tapestry manufacturing museum in an obscure part of Madrid, Spain well off the beaten path of American and European tourists.

Bill is a graduate of Boston College. Recalling Freshman Orientation he recalls Fr. Monan tell the incoming group that BC is 1. Not in Boston (it’s in Newton, MA), and 2. It’s not a college but a University comprised of several schools and colleges.” Bill was a true Liberal Arts major at one of the country’s finest liberal arts institutions, studying Romance Languages and the History of Art. With a particular focus on Spanish language and culture he spent a year studying in Madrid and traveling through the Iberian peninsula and western Europe. While at BC Bill’s interest and training in research was developed. His focus during his undergraduate studies was Spanish art, literature, politics and culture of Spain’s Golden Age.

Bill has held several key administrative roles in both large and smaller organizations in the greater Boston area. His interests have led him to continue to grow and develop as a professional. With key focus on business administration, finance and human resource management, he has established himself as a resourceful professional. He believes still that a well-rounded individual makes the best contributor — whether it be a corporate meeting or simply a robust discussion over a cup of really good coffee.
