Mr. Williams has been with Akamai for almost five years. He began his Akamai career with the task of developing a world-class global recruiting function and was the company's first diversity and inclusion leader. For the past two years, he has led the human resources function for Akamai's growing populations outside of the U.S., reflecting the company's expanded footprint.

Mr. Williams played an essential role in the Akamai Foundation's transition from private funding to an official corporate philanthropic entity. He serves as its president and hired its first executive director. Further, Mr. Williams launched the company's employee resource groups ("ERG"), voluntary associations that represent the needs of Akamai's global employee population. He also launched the Akamai Technical Academy, a training program designed for people who have an interest and aptitude for technology but may not come from a traditional technical background. The unique program empowers diverse talent with technical work-ready skills while offering opportunities for prepared graduates to become full-time employees of Akamai.
