Summary
Kris Williams is a director and water utility consultant with nine years of experience applying statistics and data-driven methods to water loss control and resource management. Based in Northampton, MA, he leads multi-year programs for utilities, from proposal through field data collection and technical reporting, and now continues that work at E Source after an acquisition. He combines practical fieldwork—leak detection, pressure surveys, meter testing—with rigorous data cleaning and R tooling to standardize client workflows and scale analysis. As a PhD student in Applied Statistics at UTSA, he’s developing an R package for density-based outlier detection, reflecting a blend of academic research and applied engineering. His background in fundraising and digital campaigns gives him a rare fluency in stakeholder communication and program adoption alongside technical leadership. Colleagues know him as a data nerd who turns messy utility data into actionable, auditable plans.
