Regional President, Asia Pacific

Peter Williams serves as IJM’s Regional President for Asia Pacific. Peter began his career as a Crown Prosecutor in Auckland, New Zealand. He began his IJM journey in 2010 as a fellow at IJM Chennai, India, where he provided legal support to IJM attorneys and local government officials to address bonded labor. He later served as Field Office Director in IJM Bangalore, India, where he led efforts to combat bonded labor, overseeing the rescue of more than 1,300 individuals and training over 2,000 government officials. Under his leadership, the Bangalore team became IJM’s first bonded labor Justice System Reform project, pioneering prevalence measurement tools and forging strategic partnerships for lasting impact.

In 2016, Peter became the Country Director for IJM Cambodia, where he advanced anti-trafficking efforts across Southeast Asia. His work included securing convictions, advising governments, and fostering partnerships with key organizations like the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to expand IJM’s global reach.

In 2020, Peter and his family moved to Washington, D.C., where he served as IJM’s first Principal Advisor for Modern Slavery and later as Vice President for Program Excellence, leading global anti-slavery initiatives and ensuring IJM’s programs achieve the highest standards of impact.
