    Bill Caruso is nothing short of a consulting legend. President of his new consulting firm CS Enterprises, and formerly the President of the firm he founded, WC & Partners in Denver, Bill is the only person to be elected twice as President of both FCSI the Americas and FCSI Worldwide Board of Directors. Bill is known for his incredible work ethic and willingness to have fun as well. He’s a gifted storyteller and I know every time we connect that I’ll learn something new, be mesmerized by a story and I’m sure to laugh.
