William Tincup​

If someone else were to describe William Tincup, they’d probably use words like influencer, podcaster, analyst, strategist, writer, speaker, advisor, investor, and journalist. They’d be right on some level. At his core, William is a “thought provocateur” who evaluates what is and questions why.

For more than 20 years, William has studied HR, talent acquisition, Work Tech, and the people, practices, and technologies reshaping work. He’s a prolific global speaker, keynote, panelist, facilitator, moderator, judge, and emcee. He has been featured or sourced as an expert by the NYT, WSJ, HBR, Fortune, MSNBC, CNN, Business Insider, Yahoo Finance, Bloomberg, TechCrunch, Fast Company, WIRED, LinkedIn, and others.

William is co-founder of WRKdefined, a podcast network covering everything related to work. His title is Editor, Analyst, Advisor & Host, which sounds made up but apparently isn’t. He speaks at conferences, attends analyst briefings, advises companies, and has podcasted about HR and TA more than anyone probably should. Fun fact: he hates the sound of his own voice. That’s weird.

William is also a venture partner at Evergreen Mountain Equity Partners and Future Wrk Ventures and serves on the Boards of Advisors for 25+ HR and TA technology companies. He advises entrepreneurs and investors on positioning, GTM, messaging, pricing, competition, partnerships, product strategy, analyst relations, corporate development, and M&A.

He holds a BA in Art History from UAB, an MA in American Indian Studies from the University of Arizona, and an MBA from Case Western Reserve University, along with SHRM-SCP and SPHR certifications.
