V2 AI bolsters leadership with two hires

APAC AI and data consultancy V2 AI has appointed Nick Williams as partner and Ebony Williams as director of alliances.

Nick William, based in Sydney, specialises in AI-enabled technology transformation at scale and data modernisation delivery and was previously a client partner at Slalom in financial services, where he led major technology and data transformation programs for private health insurance and digitally native businesses.

Ebony Williams, based in Melbourne, brings experience in building, scaling and executing strategic technology partnerships across cloud, data and AI ecosystems, joining from a partner success manager role at Amazon Web Services.

Nick Williams joins V2 AI’s existing partners Ian Nguyen, Jamie Nelson, Alvin Oh and Andrew Venables.

V2 AI founder and CEO, Craig Howe, said the appointments reflect the firm’s continued investment in leadership that combines deep technical capability with strategic execution.

“Nick and Ebony bring complementary strengths that directly support the outcomes our clients are seeking,” said Howe.

“Nick’s expertise in large-scale AI-enabled transformation and data modernisation strengthens our delivery capability, while Ebony’s leadership in building strategic alliances ensures our clients can fully leverage the world’s leading technology ecosystems. Together, they significantly enhance our ability to help enterprises adopt AI with confidence and impact.”

"With the rapid evolution and potential of AI, we need to look at business transformation through a new lens and build an organisation-wide muscle through frequent cycles of review, build and release," said Nick Williams.

"Having led multi-year, large scale end-to-end modernisation initiatives, I am focused on transforming V2 AI’s clients to be improved versions of themselves, targeting bigger goals, strengthening core decision-making and enabling AI-driven innovation."

“I’m genuinely excited to join V2 AI and gravitated to the business because of its culture, growth trajectory and the opportunity to work with formidable senior talent that is making waves within the industry," said Ebony Williams.

"I see a significant opportunity for organisations to leverage AI to transform customer experience and unlock greater value from their data. V2 AI’s approach and partnerships with leading platforms, including OpenAI, Databricks, AWS, Google and Microsoft, uniquely positions the firm to help customers realise this opportunity."
