In the interview, Ingham discusses Visa as both a financial services and a technology company, global competition and the battle against cash, memorable M&A experiences, how he hires, and the challenge of becoming an authentic leader.
“Bill is a great practitioner and visionary in human resources operations and strategy,” said Daniel Grassi, Managing Partner of Boyden Atlanta. “He has a keen understanding of corporate issues and how HR plays a strategic role in shaping business decisions. Significant factors in Bill’s success are the types of companies and the diversity of sectors he’s served over the years, where he is able to draw on his deep expertise.”
In his current role, Ingham sets the people and talent strategy to drive business for a number of Visa's strategic functions for employees worldwide. He sits on the executive leadership teams and partners in the management of the Visa brand, communication and sponsorship assets, global strategy and government relations, and legal and compliance functions.
Prior to Visa, Ingham led international HR for the Banana Republic brand at Gap Inc. Before joining Gap, he spent eight years with the Clorox Company, where he led people and talent strategies for a multibillion-dollar global business unit. Earlier in his career, Ingham was with PeopleSoft, where he built the strategy for the company's Human Resources Business Process Outsourcing (HRBPO) division in addition to leading a global staffing team that hired as many as 4,000 people per year. He started his career at Oracle as the company’s first compensation analyst.
As a co-author of The Rise of HR, which has been distributed to over two million HR professionals, Ingham is a frequent speaker at business and talent conferences. He is also active in diversity and inclusion efforts, particularly those dedicated to gender equality.
