dotCMS

Will Ezell co-founded dotCMS 20 years ago and has been driving its development ever since. As Chief Technology Officer, he's focused on giving large organizations a solid foundation for building enterprise-grade and multi-tenant content applications. His approach has always been hands-on — get in the room with big organizations, figure out what problems they're actually facing, and work together to solve them. That's led to some great partnerships with companies like Nintendo, Deutsche Bank, Constant Contact, S&P, Royal Bank of Canada, and Thomson Reuters.
