You can’t always control the outcome, but you can control your level of effort
In detail:
David’s career is defined by a balance of industry and consulting experience. Having spent half of his professional life inside organizations and the other half advising them, he brings a distinctive understanding of what clients expect—and what it truly takes to deliver meaningful, lasting impact. His time in industry grounded him in the realities of execution, while his consulting experience broadened his perspective on how strategy, people, and technology intersect to drive transformation.
Over the years, David has partnered with C-suite executives and boards to shape enterprise-level strategy and then bring it to life. He has led initiatives across client segment analysis, product strategy, operational redesign, and the technology enhancements required to achieve strategic goals. Whether he’s defining the vision or overseeing the complex implementation that follows, David thrives at the intersection of strategy and execution.
What matters most to David is trust. He believes that transparency, honesty, and world-class delivery form the foundation of every successful client relationship. This mindset guides how he shows up - measured, candid, and relentlessly focused on outcomes.
At Baringa, David draws on his cross-functional experience to help clients solve their most nuanced challenges. One day he’s advising senior leaders on strategic direction and the next he’s embedded with delivery teams to ensure execution aligns with intent. His ability to bridge perspectives - commercial and technical, boardroom and frontline - makes him a valued partner to both clients and colleagues.
Outside of work, David spends every moment possible with his wife, Olivia, and their three children. These days, he and Olivia joke that they’ve become full-time taxis, shuttling kids from one activity to the next, but they wouldn’t trade it. When they’re not on the move, the family loves traveling together and making the most of the moments in between.
