Xavier Williams
Upper Management / Consulting
About Xavier Williams:
I’m a commercially driven business development professional with years of experience sourcing, negotiating, and managing high-value commodity deals across Africa, particularly in copper and base metals. My background in financial crime compliance has given me a sharp eye for risk, making me especially strong at vetting counterparties and navigating complex transactions. I’ve built a deep network of suppliers, buyers, and intermediaries, and I excel at turning early conversations into structured, scalable opportunities. Whether it’s building trust across borders or managing due diligence, I bring professionalism, resilience, and execution.
Experience
I began my career at Lloyds Banking Group before moving to the Financial Ombudsman Service, where I progressed to Lead Investigator, specialising in financial crime cases. Since 2020, I’ve worked as a freelance consultant, contributing to a range of business projects by leveraging my strengths in relationship building, problem solving, and commercial due diligence. Over the last two years, I’ve transitioned into physical commodity deal sourcing, primarily in copper, working closely with global buyers and suppliers to structure cross-border transactions.
Education
Completed a high-level financial crime apprenticeship during my time at Lloyds Banking Group, which included earning a diploma in financial crime. This foundation led to my recruitment by the Financial Ombudsman Service, where I applied that expertise as a Lead Investigator specialising in fraud and misconduct cases.
