Williams received his BS in Economics and Entrepreneurial Management from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and his MBA in Digital Strategy from the UCLA Anderson School of Management. He is a member of the 2013 Class of Henry Crown Fellows with The Aspen Institute and a member of the Aspen Global Leadership Network. Williams also serves on the board of directors of the Price Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation at UCLA.
