Team Member Spotlight: Bill Ferguson
Driven. Easy-going. Adventurous.
Where’s your hometown?
Boston, MA.
Where did you go to school and what did you study?
I did my undergrad at Boston College (Finance/Economics) and MBA at MIT.
When you were a kid, what did you think you wanted to be when you grew up?
Racecar driver. Though, now that I’m in Charlotte I guess there is still hope for Nascar after 2U has a big exit…
Your most ideal way to spend a weekend?
Brewery-hopping or visiting my family’s lake house in New Hampshire. Looking forward to finding a new lake in NC!
What excites you most about working at 2ULaundry?
Having spent most of my career investing in startups, I know being on the other side of the table as an operator will be more rewarding. By integrating the supply chain and being laser-focused on KPIs, 2U has a major advantage when it comes to providing a quality service that keeps consumers coming back. I think there is a big opportunity here to own the Southeast and eventually become a national brand.
What’s a random fact about yourself?
I was teammates with Luke Kuechly (Panthers linebacker) in college. One of my goals is to convince him to become a celebrity endorser for 2U!
