Interview with Bill McCabe

Bill McCabe spent his early career as a CPA with a major accounting firm. What he learned from accounting is that he didn’t want to spend his whole life doing it. That knowledge engendered a change of address from the accounting firm to a marketing and public relations company. Bill found his niche in recruiting and consequently spent the last 19 years in IT recruitment, in particular in executive search helping candidates and hiring managers in the software and professional services industry. To say that he is uniquely qualified to know the kind of candidates that major companies are looking for is a mild understatement. Crossing over to IoT, a field about which he knew a great deal  and wanted to know more, Bill became very passionate about IoT and big data, making it a point to learn the past, present and future of the arena.

In IoT,  Bill found his  real space in life. Candidates he places are among the top 5% in their field and are top producers for their new companies. Bill loves what he does and takes infinite pride in putting together the right candidate with the right company. He has been applauded and lauded as one of the top fifty Twitter influencers in IoT, landing at number  17.  Named an BM IOT Futurist at IBM INterconnect  as well as IOT Emerge in Chicago in Sept 2016. Never one to rest on his laurels, Bill was invited and will speak at  Internet of Things World in  May 2017. Bill is also a renowned blogger and guest blogger for such high impact companies as IBM. Key clients he has handled include JDEdwards, Oracle, Peoplesoft, MessageMedia, and IBM Global Services, Deloitte Consulting, Accenture.
