Will Ezell joined Dotmarketing, Inc. in September of 2000 as the Chief Technology Officer, setting our technological direction and overseeing all application development. It was Will's vision that ultimately led to the development of our primary open-source development platform, dotCMS. An active participant in the open-source community, he firmly believes that supported open-source solutions can offer a better approach to enterprise software development, providing the stability of a polished product without the inflexibility and costly long-term vendor commitments commercial products carry.
Before joining Dotmarketing, Will was the Director of Web Development at SportsYa!, a leading sports content web site for the Latin American and Spanish markets with over 200 employees and offices in 5 countries. Will designed and oversaw the development of a large-scale, multi-lingual web portal that at its peak was receiving over 6 million visits a week.
Will also brings extensive experience in the securities industry where he developed virtual brokerage products, allowing brokers and clients the ability to manage accounts, place trades and indicate interest for IPOs. As a result of his work, Will enabled his company to expand market share with nearly no marketing budget, enlarge its operation and participate in 12 public offerings.
Will earned his bachelor's degree from Emory University in Atlanta, GA.
