Samson Williams and His Uncommon Brand of Human Connection

As a prominent thought-leader in the nascent world of blockchain technology, Samson Williams is a man who knows only one gear — Full-Tilt

My recent conversation with him was the ultimate “no-holds” barred experience, one that could be best described as a rhythmic articulation of deep wisdom and insight. And if that weren’t enough, Samson seems to find profound joy in strategically tossing out expletives mid-sentence to ensure that you are aware and on your toes.

A colorful character, Samson has no qualms in busting out an edgy wardrobe of Bermuda shorts and a pink jacket that complement his attention-getting mohawk hairstyle.

Iconoclastic characteristics aside, Samson has emerged as a globally recognized expert on technology and crisis communication. He serves as Principal Consultant for Axes and Eggs, a global advisory firm building relationships beyond in technology and beyond in Dubai, Riyadh and throughout the Middle East, North African region.

Prior to that, he worked with Fannie Mae for eight years, as part of an emergency management team charged with pulling the U.S. out of the housing crisis. He spent his last two years coordinating internal communications, workforce development and organizational resiliency for Fannie Mae’s Operations & Technology Division.
