About Wil B.
Wil B. is Partner & Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at SoftBank Investment Advisers. Location: Menlo Park, California, United States.
As Partner and Chief Technology Officer at SoftBank Investment Advisers, I lead technology strategy for the Vision Funds and work alongside investment teams, founders, and portfolio-company leadership on AI, cybersecurity, technology diligence, operational resilience, and scaling complex technology platforms. My career has spanned more than two decades across Google, LinkedIn, entrepreneurship, and global technology investing. That experience gives me a perspective from both sides of the table: building and operating technology organizations, and evaluating the companies, architectures, teams, and markets behind technology investments. Today, much of my work focuses on the practical application of AI. How organizations move from experimentation to measurable business value while managing security, governance, infrastructure, and execution risk. I also serve in board and advisory roles, working with leadership teams on technology strategy, cybersecurity, enterprise risk, AI adoption, and long-term value creation. I operate at the intersection of technology, investing, and company building. Areas of focus: • Artificial Intelligence & AI Infrastructure • Cybersecurity & Enterprise Risk • Technology Due Diligence • Enterprise Software & Cloud Infrastructure • Portfolio Company Value Creation • Board & Audit Committee Technology Oversight • Technology Strategy and Operating Transformation Previously: Google, LinkedIn, Elementum, Taos, Cisco and Sensable Labs.
