Orlando

Will Toms is the Co-Founder & Chief Creative Officer of REC Philly, serving as the visionary behind the company’s endeavors. This Germantown-born, Philadelphia native has quickly made a name for himself in our region's startup community. In under four short years he has grown his organization to almost 20 employees and raised over $3M dollars to scale his socially-driven business model from a warehouse in North Philadelphia to a state-of-the-art facility in Center City. Powered by his innate innovative aptitude, Will’s vision is to scale REC’s model to span across international communities, establishing a network of independent creators that all have access to the resources, strategies and opportunities necessary to own their future.

Outside of his work at REC, William continues to serve his community at large as an active member of several non-profit boards including HopeWorks, Urban Creators and the Arts + Business Council.

William takes pride in ensuring all of his efforts are centered around democratizing access and opportunity for all of Philadelphia's citizens.
