"My Tech Startup Experience" - Georgia Tech Alum, Willie Tillery co-founded Accelarad in 1999. At the time, he recognized an opportunity for cloud technology in radiology. Due to his vision and leadership, today Accelarad's network covers more than 1,700 facilities and hosts the exchange of over 400 million medical images annually. In April of 2014, Accelarad was aquired by Nuance Communications.

Currently, Tillery works as the Director of Image Sharing Services with Nuance Communications, an American multinational computer software technology corporation that focuses on developing the most human, natural, intuitive ways to use your voice to take command of information. Their company has pioneered the highest functioning speech software in the world, ceaselessly perfecting the ability for machines to recognize and emulate the human voice. They design and deliver technologies that intuitively link man, machine, and the global storehouse of knowledge to help companies and consumers work seamlessly and intelligently with the world.
