Bill Godwin

“I had the pleasure of partnering with Bill. Bill is incredibly effective at handling complex deals. He is poised, thoughtful, responsive, and overall a delight to work with. Keep rocking, Bill. You are elite.”

“What to say about Bill that hasn't been said before. He's affable. No, Pete said that. He's able handle complex deals. No, John said that. Well, the thing that resonates about Bill is that he has a great mind. A mind which not only can compartmentalize disperate things, but that can also look at a problem or discussion point from a variety of angles concurrently. You need this. You need the whole picture at times of decision making and you need it quickly. That's why we needed Bill and were thankful to have him.”

“Bill is a incredible contributor to business strategy and execution. At Zannel, he served as the VP of Business Development and General Counsel. In that capacity, he was instrumental in driving delivery of major deals with individual artists, record labels, studios, and technology companies. He was adept at figuring out how to craft a win:win out of every deal, was skilled at figuring out even the most arcane deal terms, and brought a high degree of marketing know how and strategic thinking to the role. I would work with him again and try to bring him to any company I was associated with in a "New York minute". He truly is one of those rare individuals who can make a huge difference at your company. A quick study, he is capable of learning the ins and outs of new industries and absorbs highly detailed information very easily while still retaining a grasp of the big picture and the strategic importance of the deal.”

“Bill was one of the most respected and affable executives that I knew at the studio. He is an incredibly talented, hard working and diplomatic professional who knows how to navigate large corporations to get things done.”

“Where do I start? Bill is hands down one of the most intelligent, dedicated and driven colleagues I ever had the pleasure to work with. I worked with Bill at Zannel, but also previously at Warner Bros. Wireless, where he was a pioneer in the mobile entertainment business. At both companies, Bill proved to be an extremely well-liked (by partners and colleagues), first-rate professional, rarely seen in business today. I know our partners felt the same way as there wasn't one who wouldn't answer his call or try to help him land a deal. A true asset, I can't imagine a better hire and would gladly welcome the opportunity to work with him again.”

“Bill was one of the best business development VP's I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He has a way about him that makes everyone that he meets him like him immediately and leave with a extremely positive impression. He is also very dedicated and systematic in getting deals done and have brought in some key partners while work at Zannel that really helped the company. I'd definitely work with Bill again in a heart beat.”

“Bill is an incredible manager who really knows how to motivate and coach his team. I am proud to say how much I learned about the Wireless industry as well as business development skills with this phenomenal professional.”

“I worked very closely with Bill on a wireless and licensing initiative at Warner Bros. Online. I found Bill to be...very focused, diplomatic, open minded, and tactical in his approach to solving important and complex business issues. I consider Bill a trusted friend and look forward to the opportunity to work with him again in the future...”
