About Will Conner

I’ve built my career inside fast‑evolving B2B organizations, often growing through acquisition, where products, portfolios, and priorities are constantly changing. That environment has shaped how I work: learning new technologies, markets, and customer needs quickly, then turning that complexity into clear, actionable strategies that drive understanding, adoption, and growth.My role sits at the intersection of marketing strategy, customer activation, and communication. I help product, sales, and leadership teams align around a shared story, translating engineering‑driven solutions into messaging that resonates with specifiers, buyers, and end users. When portfolios expand, brands overlap, or value propositions blur, I bring structure, focus, and momentum to keep the business moving forward.I’ve worked across industrial, commercial, automotive, and infrastructure markets, supporting business development efforts by helping customers quickly understand why technologies matter and how they create value. From epoxy coatings that protect against aggressive chemicals to acrylic insulating coatings that manage heat and energy across assets like oil tanks and vehicles, my focus is always on making technically sound solutions accessible and relevant.I don’t pretend to know everything on day one but I do learn fast, ask the right questions, and turn complexity into practical stories that drive customer confidence and long‑term adoption. If you’ve ever had to grow an expanding product portfolio without slowing the business down, we’d probably have a lot to talk about.
