Bill Robertazzi joined The Atlantic Philanthropies as Director, Information Technology in February 1998. Bill is based in New York and oversees the global IT function. Under Bill's leadership the Atlantic IT Team has grown to several professionals who proactively deliver excellent service and value to the organization.

In that capacity he focused on networking & messaging technologies and systems integration. He has advised a wide variety of clients on the use of technology, ranging from Goldman Sachs, Memorial Sloan-Kettering, and General Atlantic Partners to smaller non-profits, such as Volunteer Consulting Group, Echoing Green Foundation and The Atlantic Philanthropies, prior to his employment.

Bill spent two years studying Electro-Mechanical Engineering in the CUNY system.
