Will Sweeney has never been content with surface-level solutions. As managing partner of Zaviant, he leads a consulting firm that goes beyond the checklist approach to privacy, security and risk. Under his guidance, Zaviant has grown into a company known for delivering thoughtful, strategic outcomes for clients facing complex regulatory environments. His leadership is marked by a clear sense of purpose and a commitment to building with intention rather than speed alone.

Over the past year, Sweeney has prioritized creating space for clarity—both in communication and in vision. He believes that effective leadership begins with defining roles, aligning expectations and empowering his team to own their contributions. That belief has translated into tangible results. Zaviant recently launched a Governance practice, a strategic move that broadened capabilities and deepened the support it offers clients navigating data protection and compliance frameworks.

Sweeney’s impact can be traced not only through service expansion but through the caliber of talent the company continues to attract. He fosters a team culture where professional development, autonomy and high-impact collaboration are not aspirations—they are daily practice. Within Zaviant, the environment is designed to help people excel without compromising personal well-being. Sweeney remains deeply invested in creating conditions where excellence and balance coexist.

His leadership style also reflects a deliberate shift from transactional consulting to long-term partnership building. He and his team approach every engagement with the goal of delivering value that extends beyond the scope of any one project. That mindset has earned Zaviant a strong reputation with clients who return not just for expertise but for trust and consistency.

Being named a Titan 100 Honoree reinforces the path Sweeney has taken. It affirms the direction of a company that values quality over quantity, team over ego and solutions over shortcuts. Zaviant’s success is measured not just by growth, but by how effectively it helps clients adapt, secure their data and operate with integrity in a high-stakes digital world.

Over the past year, Sweeney has also embraced the importance of intentional hiring. By surrounding himself with individuals who bring diverse insights and share a passion for solving difficult problems, he has created a team equipped to respond to rapid change while remaining grounded in mission.

Sweeney sees Zaviant’s role as one of stewardship—helping organizations meet their current needs while building resilient systems for the future. The firm’s evolving capabilities are a reflection of that forward-thinking approach. But what sets it apart is not just technical expertise; it’s the company’s ability to connect deeply with clients, ask the right questions and deliver solutions that endure.

Through all of it, Sweeney’s presence remains steady, focused and quietly impactful. His approach to leadership is measured, grounded in trust and driven by a belief in the power of people working together with purpose. Under his direction, Zaviant continues to grow—not just in scope, but in significance.
