WARREN WILLIAMS SETS SIGHTS ON BUILDING NEW PARTNERSHIPS; Expertise in West Africa to be Focus of Ex
Following a highly successful career as CFO of OPI International Group, Ltd. and Willbros, Warren Williams is set to join Woodhill Financial Group, Ltd., as a Shareholder in January 2016. George Woods, Managing Director and Founder of Woodhill says of the announcement, “Warren is such a tremendous addition to the firm. The depth of his knowledge and breadth of his skill set enables Woodhill to fundamentally expand our services and enhance our client relationships.” Williams, who has built a 30-year career in both the Public and Private sector, will help develop new agency services, offer strategic counsel to current Woodhill clients, and widen the firm's partnership opportunities.
Mr. Williams is uniquely qualified to evolve Woodhill service offerings, having created a solid and diverse foundation from decades as a CFO and consultant. While a host of entrepreneurial businesses have relied on his capabilities in resolving a dynamic range of technical financial issues, they also look for his guidance in creating sustainable relationships built on integrity. “For me, the most satisfying aspect of my work is relationship-building,” says Williams. “It’s really about helping companies understand their goals, identify needs and then develop a strategy that allows them to achieve their dreams through the right partnerships.”
Woodhill is especially excited about Warren’s extensive experience in West Africa -- specifically in operating and obtaining financings in Angola and Nigeria. While with OPI, Williams arranged $20.0+ million financings through local banks in both Angola and Nigeria. “Anybody that has done business in those countries knows how difficult that terrain is,” notes Mr. Woods. “But Warren is able to get things done, his firsthand knowledge will be invaluable to businesses looking to evolve operations into West Africa.”
