It’s been said that no idea is truly original, so bringing value to business is all about an ability to execute those ideas. With an incredible track record to show from his decades as a serial tech entrepreneur & angel investor, there’s no doubt that William Reeve possesses that ability in abundance.

Having run the largest technology consumer research programme in Europe, Co-Founded the UK's leading online DVD rental brand - which eventually became LOVEFiLM - and holding Non-Executive roles in Secret Escapes, Graze and Dunelm, William has no shortage of tales and takeaways from his experiences.

Joining Lee on this week’s Extrology, William recalls the pain points that became progress on his business journey, which now sees him as the CEO of Goodlord.

Lee and William discuss:

  • William’s remarkable portfolio of executive and non-exec roles
  • Early fascination with technology, and releasing a game during his GCSE years
  • Finding more value in executing ideas than conceiving them
  • The oft-overlooked quality of sales as a professional skill
  • Taking a portfolio approach to business vs having a sole focus
  • The importance of diverse skill sets and outlooks in any team
