Key Executives
  • Williams RDM is a small company that does not provide the names of its key executives on its website. By searching news articles and LinkedIn, we were able to obtain the names of eight key executives or people of importance within the company. Below we have provided each person's name, title, and a link to their LinkedIn profile page. We were unable to find a LinkedIn profile for Della Williams.

Summary of the Finding Relevant to the Results
  • During our first hour of research we were able to determine that before being rebranded as Williams RDM in 2013, the company was originally known as Williams Pyro. The company does not provide leadership information on its website. Using news articles and LinkedIn, we were able to provide the names of eight individuals who are either key executives otherwise hold leadership positions within the company. We did not have time to research the remaining parts of your ask and, as such, have provided the option to continue the research needed to provide the remaining required information.
