Bill Proudman is a founding partner and COO of White Men as Full Diversity Partners®. (www.wmfdp.com) WMFDP achieves meaningful results for clients by transforming the way organizations approach issues of diversity, inclusion, and discrimination. Through the WMFDP process, organizations are able to positively engage white males as partners and allies in diversity efforts.

Bill pioneered white male only learning labs in the mid 90s after noticing that white male leaders repeatedly disengaged from diversity efforts. This provocative work became the seed for his involvement in the creation of WMFDP. Bill’s early career was in experiential education and, for over thirty years, he has acted as a process consultant and facilitator to countless companies and organizations on issues of team effectiveness and leadership development. Bill is also the founder of the ETD Alliance, a small trade association for exemplary North American experiential training and development consulting firms.
