Bill Clifford
President and CEO

Since joining WorldBoston as Executive Director in January 2008, Bill has led a successful rebranding effort, doubled distinguished-speaker programs and conferences to more than 32 per year, and increased membership in the organization by more than 80 percent.  He has also launched Academic WorldQuest for Boston area high schools. The program, an international affairs knowledge competition, has grown rapidly from just two pilot teams three years ago to more than 15 high school teams preparing for the 2011 WorldQuest.

Previously, Bill was a journalist covering international finance and economics in Asia, where he launched and directed news bureaus in Japan and Hong Kong for the pioneering multimedia venture CBS MarketWatch. Prior to that, he was senior correspondent for CNBC Asia in Tokyo.  Bill holds an M.A. from The Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), a B.A. summa cum laude in international relations and French literature from Tufts University, and a C.E.P. in public policy from Institut d’Etudes Politiques, Paris.
