Ep.6: Leading from within

With David Williams

David, a former Vice President at AT&T, shares his journey from humble beginnings in Dallas to leading a billion-dollar program. Raised by a hardworking single mother, David's early experiences instilled a strong work ethic. He joined AT&T without aspirations for the corporate ladder but eventually transitioned to management due to a lack of seniority for technician roles. David emphasizes the importance of mentorship, resilience, and positive leadership. He highlights his innovative strategies during the pandemic, such as banning emails and encouraging team collaboration. Post-AT&T, David continues to mentor youth in STEM and runs a podcast facility leveraging AI.
