"Bill Daul is 'human glue,' helping to connect people with people,information, and businesses that are relevant and important to their individual efforts."

James C. Spohrer, Ph.D., CTO
IBM Venture Capital Relations Group



"Bill Daul was a pioneer in knowledge management, before it became a trendy term. He has great experience in actually doing knowledge management on a large scale, not just talking about it. He is a wonderful contributor to groups."

Dr. Bob Johansen, President
Institute for the Future



"Bill Daul has an uncommon talent for connecting people. I know of no one else who listens and assesses people as well as Bill.

He takes what he learns and applies it to matching up interests, ideas, talents and personalities. Every time I'm with Bill he makes my interaction with a group more valuable by ensuring that I meet and talk to the right people.

The interesting thing is Bill is doing the same thing for everyone else at the same time."


Rick Brennan, Consultant

"Bill Daul brings curiosity, openness and warmth that makes him a trusted ally and friend for one and all. Bill is unique in his capabilities to listen, follow and see the connections between various themes, ideas and opportunities that exist (but hidden) in our conversations.
If you are looking for people who can communicate, connect and evangelize what you do effectively with important thinkers, researchers and futurists, there is no better person than Bill that I know of. He knows technology inside out and is the best 'human glue' I ever came across and highly recommend him."
Prasad Kaipa, President and CEO
SelfCorp Inc.
 
 
He’s all about manifesting an idea in the clouds from his robust imagination and bringing it to reality. Amazing. I think Bill is on some type of “spirit walk”. Instead of going into the wild to find his manhood, he risks to believe he can live from his value as a person and his contribution to others success. I believe the choice to live in financial ambiguity and be OK with uncomfortable is advanced be-ing. I think it takes real courage to choose to live from your gut. He has the belief (hope) that in doing good works that all will be provided. An explorer of value and co-creation, an inspiration to many.
