Harald Will

Technology entrepreneur Harald Will started the commercial operations of what was then called ACL in 1987, growing it to be the leading audit analytic software company in the world. His vision and guidance set the company on a trajectory to becoming the leading provider of enterprise governance software powered by data automation.

From Galvanize’s first product offering for internal, external, and government audit markets to the full range of solutions available today serving governance, risk, and compliance professionals, Harald built the company and team with a focus on excellent customer service, integrity, trust, and respect. In 2012, Harald transitioned to Executive Chair of Galvanize's board to support the management team on strategy, passing the CEO reins to Laurie Schultz.

Harald was recognized as a Business in Vancouver “Forty under 40” award recipient and was named one of Treasury & Risk Management magazine’s “100 Most Influential People in Finance” in 2005 and again in 2009.
