Bill Hawkins, President and Founder

Bill founded Compatible Cable in 2009 with a passion for relationship-driven business. Bill began his career as an account manager for Cables Unlimited, a value-added distributor of off-the-shelf computer cables and accessories, and he quickly became a key part of their exponential growth and brand recognition during the late 1990’s. Bill then moved on to a small start-up company specializing in custom cable assemblies, where he rapidly emerged as the operations manager and authored the internal custom cable procedures. With 20 years of experience in the cable industry, Bill continues to lead Compatible Cable, always focusing on relationships, growth opportunities, and personal potential. Bill’s passion for travel has taken him on incredible adventures, such as kayaking on the Italian Riviera, watching the sunrise from atop an active volcano in Bali, and hiking the Franz Josef Glacier in New Zealand. In his free time, Bill enjoys playing guitar in a rock cover band, the drums in a Traditional Irish band, and listening to his wife sing Pat Benatar songs at karaoke. Bill’s favorite way to relax is by teaching his two young daughters to play Taylor Swift songs.
