McWilliams has served more than 25 years in the broker-dealer, RIA, and commercial real estate space in various operations and information technology management roles. Since joining First Rate in 2008, his contributions have played a vital role in the growth, expansion, and reliability of First Rate’s data centers, infrastructure, data processing operations, and security.
