Bio

Bill Weber is the President of GrowthPilot, an innovation consulting firm which helps its clients achieve more consistent success moving truly new product ideas from the drawing board to revenue. After working for nearly a decade with large manufacturers like 3M, Solvay, Georgia-Pacific, Aditya Birla, Shaw, Georg Fischer, and many others, he knows the good, the bad, and the ugly of innovation at established companies and has deep experience sharing what he has learned with audiences who want to more predictably hit their revenue growth goals. He's testified twice before Congress, spoken at dozens of industry conferences, and published many articles on innovation.

Prior to joining GrowthPilot, Bill was the general counsel at Cbeyond, a public telecommunications company which he helped take private in 2014. In his varied career he served as a Marine officer for 12 years and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal with Combat “V” following Operation Desert Storm; spent several years as a criminal defense attorney in the Marine Corps; was a faculty member at the University of Georgia School of Law; practiced commercial litigation at a large corporate firm; and held various executive positions with Covad Communications. Bill has argued cases before state public utility commissions in 28 states and is a past Board Chair of the Georgia Innocence Project. He holds a B.S. (with honors) from the United States Naval Academy and a J.D. (cum laude) from the University of Georgia.
