London, UK – 31 July 2025 – Taxpayers Against Poverty (TAP) is pleased to announce the appointment of Oliver Williams to its Advisory Board. Oliver is a senior fintech executive with a background in financial journalism and a long-standing advocate for social justice, equity, and youth empowerment.
Currently Global Head of Content Strategy at a leading fintech company, Oliver brings over 15 years of experience in finance, communications, and public messaging. He began his career as a trainee accountant before becoming a financial journalist at Investors Chronicle (part of the Financial Times group), giving him a deep understanding of how the financial system works—and how it can work better for everyone.
Outside his corporate roles, Oliver has been a champion for diversity and inclusion, chairing Race and Ethnicity Networks and serving on Diversity Councils across the financial sector. His voluntary work includes mentoring young Afro-Caribbean people through organisations such as the East London Business Alliance and Reach Society, for which he received a national award. He also co-founded Cassavas, a London-based Caribbean supper club celebrating community, culture, and accessible food.
“We’re delighted to welcome Oliver to the TAP Advisory Board,” said Tom Burgess, CEO of TAP. “His insight into finance, his commitment to equality, and his passion for practical solutions will help strengthen our mission to dismantle poverty and expose the systems that perpetuate it.”
TAP’s Advisory Board brings together experts and advocates from across society to guide the organisation’s work, amplify its campaigns, and influence policies that create lasting change. Oliver joins Paul Morrison and George Turner on TAP Advisory Board, announced on 8 July 2025
