John Sylvester - Chairman at Sodexo Engage
Analytical depth, calm in a crisis, and the ethics to hold leadership to account.
"His persistence in seeking the best solutions has held me to account on many occasions"
David's professional finance background has equipped him with outstanding analytical skills.
Since I have known him, he has applied these skills to a range of wider business management roles and shown great adaptability in understanding different business models. Coupled with his calm personality and diplomatic approach his management style is inclusive and fact based. He also understands the emotional side of managing organisations and always willing to take on other points of view.
David will be a real asset to a leadership team. His strong ethics, creativity and persistence in seeking the best solutions has (in a good way!) held me to account on many occasions!
He has a strong and positive commercial approach which is underpinned by his professional finance training and rounded by many years in a wider commercial role.
I would also commend his calm approach in a crisis. He is quick and willing to step up and provide strong leadership in response to the unexpected problems that arise from time to time in all organisations.
