William Branley

William Branley is a builder of structures and a deconstructor of personas. After studying the mechanics of the human mind at Tulane University, Branley entered the high-stakes pressure cooker of Cantor Fitzgerald, navigating the adrenaline-fueled trading floors of Wall Street. He later moved to the media front lines at Inside Edition, mastering the art of the "reveal" while navigating the manufactured glamour of Hollywood. A former senior project manager at AECOM Tishman, Branley oversaw complex infrastructure projects, including critical Superstorm Sandy resilience and recovery efforts across the New York skyline. He also served as vice president of the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences-a Trump-adjacent organization with deep personal and professional ties to the Trump family-where he vetted global luxury properties for the prestigious International Star Diamond Award.
