Terry Williams, a serial entrepreneur, strategic business advisor, and venture capitalist, has changed the way that executive management and the investment community look at building businesses. With 25 years of experience in the human capital industry and in growing young businesses, Terry has acquired an in-depth knowledge and expertise of the critical factors necessary for long-term success.

In 1996, Terry established TWC (formerly T. Williams Consulting) to share these best practices on using recruitment and talent management to build competitive advantage. In 2006, he co-founded NextStage Capital with Robert Adams and Dan McKinney. That same year, TWC Group acquired HR Impact to augment its world-class management consulting and HR solutions. In 2007, with more than 100 employees across the Mid-Atlantic region, Terry sold TWC Group to COMSYS IT Partners (NASDAQ:CITP).

Before TWC, Terry served as a strategic consultant to Dialogic Corporation, the world's leading computer telephony components provider. He helped build Dialogic from a 45-person organization to over 1,300 employees within nine years. Prior to that, he was an independent consultant for DuPont and helped them to build a new division, DX Imaging Corp., which was a joint partnership with Xerox Corporation.

Williams continues to attract clients with his skills and experience:

• Serving as strategic advisor and investor to both product and service companies on designing and building world-class sales and business development functions.
• Positioning early stage companies as "Investments of Choice."
• Supporting high tech, biotech, and pharmaceutical clients with functional organizational design and strategic restructuring.
• Designing, developing, and implementing accelerated talent acquisition programs for fast-paced start-ups, as well as major Fortune 500 companies, in both the software and consulting services industries.
• Evaluating and investing in undiscovered early stage software and hardware technology and/or services companies with NextStage Capital.

Terry has been widely published in print and on the Internet in such venues as HR Executive Magazine, Harvard Management Update, Network Magazine, Princeton Business Journal, and vcapital.com. He also appeared on CNNfn and NBC Nightly News.

Terry holds degrees in Criminology and Psychology from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania. He serves on a number of Boards of Directors and Advisory Boards for companies, including Integral Molecular.
