Sam Leon leads Global Witness’s work on investigative data journalism and digital storytelling. His work focuses on using publicly available and leaked data to expose corruption.

In 2017, he worked with MIT Media Lab to build an immersive storytelling tool specifically tailored for human rights organisations that is now used to publish interactive, longform journalism at Global Witness.
