ABOUT TOM WILLIAMS
I’m a Principal Consultant in Data & Privacy at Slalom, helping organisations use data and AI responsibly—with clarity, pace, and humanity. I care about two things in equal measure: trust (doing the right thing with data) and community (bringing people together to do their best work).Over the last few years I’ve led high-stakes privacy and AI governance programmes across life sciences and consumer goods—shaping Consent & Preference Management strategy, standing up US-origin data controls, and unblocking complex stakeholder landscapes. Clients describe my style as calm, clear, and outcome-focused—the person who can step into difficult situations, build trust fast, and move a programme forward.I’m hands-on with delivery as well as storytelling. I’ve accelerated large-scale analytics migrations (Tableau → Power BI), created privacy education content that reaches thousands, and helped progress alliances with BigID and Securiti.ai. I also enable teams—coaching junior consultants, running workshops, and producing video content (as UK Synthesia admin) that scales knowledge across markets.Community is a big part of who I am. I co-created OneManchester (now UK-wide), host inclusive events, and keep our culture high-energy and welcoming. I believe great consulting blends expertise with generosity—crediting others, lifting new voices, and making space for people to grow.If you’re exploring AI governance, privacy maturity, RoPA/records, data sharing, or analytics enablement—or want to energise your teams around these topics—let’s talk.(Previously: PwC, University of Sheffield—Business Management & Informatics.)
