As head of Learning & Development for a global logistics business in the UK David was responsible for the learning & development strategy for a UK organisation of 37,000 employees. David designed and delivered Director level programs not only for established teams but also for high potential executives. At a central government level, he has spoken at All Party Parliamentary Groups as well as being a speaker at symposium events. His commercial, change management, negotiation and “messaging” experience has been gained in leadership in a turn-around business environment as well as mergers & acquisitions, both “friendly” and “unfriendly”. His considerable and varied experience makes his style both very pragmatic and engaging.
