Will began a career in politics before pivoting to real estate. He built a blistering 15 year career with Grosvenor in the UK and Paris ending his journey as the Executive Director for the London Portfolio with £5bn AUM. He choose to leave that behind to begin a role based on his passion for community and to influence the social economy as CEO of Retirement Villages Group.
Will describes his career through successive stages of achievements, deep personal tragedy and thoroughly steep learning curve.
