William MacFee
Cybersecurity & AI Enablement Speaker
From nuclear safety to small-business leadership, Will MacFee turns complex ideas about cybersecurity, AI and resilience into practical decisions that protect the business, unlock productivity and build an organization that can thrive beyond its founder.
Will MacFee is the president and owner of Systems Support Corporation, where he helps small and midsize businesses make clearer decisions about technology, cybersecurity and long-term resilience. His perspective was shaped by an early career in nuclear engineering and at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, where safety depended on understanding risk, building layered protections and preparing carefully for the unexpected.
After joining Systems Support, Will began translating those principles into practical guidance for business owners. When he assumed leadership of the company in 2023, he brought that risk-informed mindset to the challenges reshaping modern businesses, from ransomware and email compromise to AI adoption, operational continuity and succession.
Through his leadership, writing and presentations, Will advocates for "reasonable assurance of adequate protection": a thoughtful alternative to both complacency and fear-driven decision-making. His work helps leaders protect what matters, use technology productively and build businesses that are prepared to adapt, recover and endure.

Big Ideas Made Useful
Will's signature talks help business leaders navigate three defining challenges: protecting what they have built, putting emerging technology to productive use and creating an organization that can succeed beyond any one person. Each session turns complex ideas into practical decisions audiences can understand, discuss and act on.
Reasonable Assurance
Cybersecurity and business resilience without panic, paralysis or the impossible promise of perfect protection.
Drawing on his nuclear-safety background and years supporting small businesses, Will explains how leaders can identify meaningful risks, build layered defenses and prepare for disruptions without bringing productivity to a halt. The focus is practical resilience: clearer responsibilities, stronger employee habits, tested recovery plans and better decisions when something goes wrong.
AI That Earns Its Keep
Move beyond the hype and put AI to work on real business problems.
Will helps small and midsize businesses identify where AI can save time, improve service and increase capacity without creating unnecessary security or operational risk. He covers practical use cases, responsible adoption, data access, employee guidance and the leadership decisions required to turn scattered experimentation into measurable business value.
Built Beyond You
Leadership, systems and succession for a business that can thrive without everything running through the owner.
As a second-generation business owner, Will understands the challenge of turning personal knowledge into a durable organization. He explores how documentation, delegation, technology and clear decision-making can reduce dependence on any one person, strengthen the team and prepare a business for growth, leadership transitions and the unexpected.
