Ali Walker Davies
Ali Walker Davies is currently Chief Executive (maternity cover) at Forward Action, a digital mobilisation agency who help progressive causes drive change faster. With 15 years’ experience in digital fundraising and mobilisation, she’s helped shape strategy and deliver results for organisations including charities like Oxfam, WWF UK, WaterAid UK and companies like Google and Lloyds Bank.
Ali cut her teeth as a digital communications strategist at Blue State, where she learned from the team behind Obama’s 2008 and 2012 campaigns, and later led the Planning team at Open. She specialises in building strategies that mobilise thousands to take meaningful action, whether that’s donating, campaigning, or spreading the word.
Technology is always changing, but her approach is rooted in curiosity, audience insight, and a drive to help the causes she cares about to move quickly and win the fights that matter.
