“Will was one of the most intelligent and articulate people I met during all of my time at Oxford. He brings passion and a fresh perspective to any discussion, and has the rare ability to help you crystallise your own ideas on a subject. He would be a huge asset to any organisation, as both a highly capable and personable colleague.”
