Founder of the Institute of Social & Corporate Ethics (ISCE)

ISCE works to foster ethical practice, currently focused on South Africa, where Athol was an ardent campaigner against corporate corruption. After blowing the whistle on state capture and corruption in 2019, Williams went into exile in 2021 over safety concerns.

He is currently based at Oxford University in the UK where he holds part-time appointments at Blavatnik School of Government, St Catherine's College and the Porter Diplomacy Centre, Hertford College.

His philosophy of being is partially reflected in The Book of Eden and Pushing Boulders, as well as his six books of poetry. Early indications of his philosophy of business are evident in his academic work on corporate ethics well as his recent book on corporate corruption, Deep Collusion.

He worked in business for over 20 years in the US, UK and South Africa in management consulting, financial services and mining.

Founder and Chairman, Gift of the Givers

Dr Sooliman commenced private practice in Pietermaritzburg in 1986, but chose to close his flourishing practice in mid-1994, choosing instead to focus his attention on Gift of the Givers Foundation, which he had founded in early August 1992. His establishment of Gift of the Givers Foundation was the consequence of a message Dr Sooliman, then aged 30, received from Sufi Sheikh Muhammed Saffer Effendi al Jerrahi, his spiritual leader in Istanbul, Turkey, who called on him to serve all people of all races, of all religions, of all colours, of all classes, of all political affiliations and of any geographical location; a calling he honoured then and continues to honour today.

His endeavour in this regard has seen Gift of the Givers Foundation emerge as one of the most respected humanitarian organisations in the world and is today the largest disaster response agency of African origin anywhere on the continent.
