Our Story
The Wicklow Story
Our Founder, Bill Murray, had a long career in financial services, but when he wasn’t working, he spent a lot of time traveling. He was always in search of the perfect place to unwind and find balance between nature and the lifestyle of a bustling city. He found that place in a small county about an hour from Dublin, Ireland – Wicklow County. A region of Ireland with rolling hills, mountains, forests, and idyllic towns. Wicklow County spoke to him. After several trips back to the area, he decided that Wicklow was no longer just a place to visit—it was a goal. It was where he saw himself living out his retirement with his family.
When considering the name for his new company, Bill wanted to make sure the name kept the team focused on our number one priority: Achieving our clients’ goals. Through the sale of his clients’ businesses, Bill realized that he would be helping clients find their own “Wicklow.”
Whether that means retiring and spending more time with family, buying a second home, fishing more, working on that golf game, or just giving up the responsibilities that come along with ownership—Wicklow can help. The name Wicklow keeps your goals and expectations at the forefront of every decision we make, and every interaction we have. So, the question we have for you is, what’s your Wicklow, and how can we help you get there?
Bio
Founder; CEO
Bill Murray
Bill Murray started his career in financial services over 25 years ago with MBNA America Bank and later, Bank of America. Bill was part of the team that helped MBNA establish its healthcare financing division in 2004.
Bill’s passion for doctor-owned private practices, and his client-centric approach, led him to positions in California, New England, and the Metro New York regions. When MBNA was acquired by Bank of America in 2006, Bill again was part of the team that helped transition the healthcare lending division from MBNA to Bank of America. The result was the creation of the largest conventional lender to Private Practice Veterinarians, Dentists, and Medical Doctor owners in the continental United States – Bank of America Practice Solutions.
Bill held executive level positions throughout his career at Bank of America. Some of his key accomplishments include:
Established and scaled Bank of America’s Veterinary lending program to become the top producing conventional lender to private practice Veterinarians in the U.S.
Managed key vendor relationships in the dental, veterinary, and medical sectors, including several large fortune 500 companies.
Worked with the largest and most complex bank clients as they scaled and exited their healthcare practice businesses.
Bill’s real passion is working with independent practice owners as they grow, scale, and exit their businesses. That passion moved him to create Wicklow Healthcare Advisory. After more than 20 years assisting veterinarians, dentists, and medical practice owners with their complex financing needs as they scaled and then exited their business, he saw a tremendous void in the level of professionalism and deal-making skills being offered by healthcare-focused sell side advisors and traditional brokerages. Bill’s goal is to fill this void working with clients through Wicklow Healthcare Advisory as they seek advice and representation to establish, scale, and exit their healthcare business.
