Dan Hawtrey

Dan Hawtrey is CEO of Content Formula and the driving force behind Xoralia, a policy management platform built natively on Microsoft 365.

Dan has spent over two decades helping large organisations - particularly in financial services, healthcare, education, and manufacturing - build intranets that actually work. That experience across heavily regulated industries gave him a deep, practical understanding of how policy management breaks down in practice: policies buried in standalone systems, inaccessible to frontline workers, disconnected from the tools people use every day.

Xoralia was built to fix that. Rather than adding another satellite system, it embeds policy management directly into SharePoint and Microsoft 365 - making policies findable, accessible, and present where people are already working. It is now used by organisations around the world to manage policies at scale without losing visibility or control.

Dan writes regularly on policy management, compliance, and the evolving role of AI in how organisations manage knowledge. His articles are grounded in real conversations with the companies and teams using Xoralia day to day.
