He also oversaw the geographic expansion of Xc?d’s services internationally into Canada.
Always looking to expand their services to meet the needs of the industry, Bill already has big plans for Xc?d, “I am focused on building a team that is committed to the philosophy of listening to our customers’ needs, and adapting our services to meet them. I believe this will make Xc?d a successful and sustainable member of the Sasser Family Holdings group of businesses.”
