Eddie James Williams III

Eddie James Williams III is a cybersecurity executive, AI risk expert, author, speaker, adjunct cybersecurity professor, and entrepreneur focused on helping organizations make better decisions in a world where technology advances faster than many policies, processes, and decision-making structures.

With more than two decades of experience in cybersecurity, governance, risk, compliance, privacy, critical infrastructure, healthcare, consulting, and public sector leadership, Eddie has built his career at the intersection of security, strategy, and practical execution. He has led enterprise risk, compliance, and cybersecurity programs in complex organizations, advised leaders on risks associated with emerging technologies, and translated technical challenges into business decisions that can actually be implemented.

Currently, Eddie serves as a senior cybersecurity leader in municipal government and is the founder of UNITI Cyber Solutions and UNITI Cyber Media, where he focuses on cyber risk, AI governance, executive education, and thought leadership. In addition, as an adjunct cybersecurity professor, he contributes to developing the next generation of professionals by connecting academic theory with real-world practice. His work is guided by a simple belief: cybersecurity and AI should not be confined to technical silos, but should be understandable, actionable, and connected to real-world impact.

A former military intelligence specialist, board member, mentor, coach, author, and lifelong learner, Eddie brings a unique combination of discipline, humor, strategic thinking, and practical experience to his work. Whether addressing topics such as AI, cyber risk, leadership, resilience, or the future of work, his goal is to make complex subjects clear, useful, and a little less boring.

When he is not writing, speaking, or developing cybersecurity programs, Eddie is usually mentoring the next generation, supporting his family, coaching youth soccer, or exploring new ways to turn big ideas into something truly useful.
