THE PRINCIPAL

Born and raised in New Paltz, NY, William Cornwell studied economics and business management at Cornell University before moving to New York City, where he had a rewarding 18 year career in financial technology.

This career required the development of strong project and people management skills, along with a sharp focus on organization, transparency, timeliness and budgeting.  These characteristics translate directly to the fields of design and construction, and help Wildmere stand out from the crowd.

Beginning in 2006, Bill began to put his passions for real estate and design to work.  Over the last decade, he has designed new homes and renovations throughout the Hudson Valley, in addition to furnishing interiors.  Several projects are featured on our PROJECTS page.

Bill believes there is a unique opportunity to offer clients a streamlined experience, providing a single point of contact for design and project management services.  In 2017, he and his family moved back to Gardiner, NY, where he founded Wildmere Properties.
