Bill Ritcey

After 40 years in the food industry, Bill has seen almost everything wrong with a supply chain. A closet geek, after “retiring” in 2018 he began to notice companies in Europe and Asia using a technology called Blockchain to address issues with trading partners. He immersed himself in the technology and ended up as President Food Industry Solutions for a tech startup looking to break into the food business. Unfortunately, after a sudden illness to a key partner the business folded and Bill had some time on his hands. He began working on a design for a platform that would not just improve buy-sell transactions between companies but address many of the business-to-business challenges he had seen up close. In 2022 Bill and Pramod Sajja, Founder and CEO of Paramount Software Solutions, met and found a common passion to bring this industry solution to life. Paramount Software put their world-wide development resources and Blockchain knowledge to work and the first three business value modules are complete and in the Alpha customer testing phase. The next two modules will be completed by the end of Q1 2024.

A resident of Kimberly since 1991, Bill has a drive for educating the Northeast Wisconsin business community with what Blockchain can do and establish this area as a pioneer for the cooperative implementation of this technology.
