Laying the Groundwork for a New Era in Tech

Laying the
Groundwork for
a New Era in Tech

Bill Spruill has been a driving force in technology, beginning his career at the Council for Entrepreneurial Development (CED) and rising to Head of Programming. He expanded his expertise at SAS Institute and played key roles in companies like AddressDoctor, Loqate, and Identity Systems, all of which achieved successful acquisitions, setting the stage for future innovations.

In 2010, Bill co-founded Global Data Consortium (GDC) and led it to become the world’s leading global identity verification platform. This success culminated in May 2022 with GDC’s $300 million acquisition by the London Stock Exchange Group.

Later that year, Bill founded 2ndF to lay the groundwork for a new era in tech—one that is both innovative and inclusive. His vision continues to drive innovation and growth, shaping the future of the industry.
