Before leading Werner’s pric- ing and data teams, Bill spent 10 years leading the CDC, where he revolutionized many processes while gaining trust and credibility with internal and external customers.

“Over the past 12 years,
Werner owes a large part of its
success to Bill,” was written on
his nomination form. “He is ex-
tremely interested to know what
problems exist in our system and
goes out of his way to understand
and correct those problems with
the best possible solutions.”
Notably, Bill’s team captured

99.8% of the ship and debits rebates, which equates to more than $20 million directly to Werner’s bottom line; he increased an average of 4% gross profit on a top vendor line; and he created a sustainable quality assurance program that encompasses all aspects of Werner’s operations.
