Tim Mutton - Founder & CEO at Blacksheep

Its a true blessing to be working with someone like David. David is an accomplished man of finance and much more beyond.

His straightforward, thorough and visionary approach makes him a real joy to have alongside you in running your business.

David managed to understand and take control of a very complex issue on joining us and in a matter of three to six months we are a completely different business.

David has transformed our company from a finance, operations and structure perspective. This is the impressive nature of his expertise as he truly get business & people. David sees things I would never as a business owner, from which I'm extremely grateful.

As a creative person I've always felt that it should be a good feeling working with the right people, you know in your gut that something just clicks. Drawn to those with deep routed values of decency, honestly, transparency, saying it how it is and putting others first while still being extremely personable and professional. I very much felt and experienced all these things working with David.

David Lebond - Owner & Managing Director at P&MM

I have known David for over 15 years and would be happy to recommend him for any role ranging from CEO, CFO or COO.

David has a wide ranging skill set, being focused on everything commercial, procedure and process, goal setting, financial viability, risk profiling and above all a very strategic focus.

David can demonstrate a number of career achievements ranging from, multiple business acquisitions and successful integration to assisting others in product development to crisis management, not forgetting growing a profitable business.

One aspect which is so important to him is his value set and moral compass, which means he has the respect of all around him.

In summary, David is one of those hard to find individuals, who has it all, bright, focused, loyal incredibly hard working and a genuinely nice bloke.

John Sylvester - Chairman at Sodexo Engage

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.

He is strong operationally, and is very client focused ensuring that the business isn't only internally focused but has the needs of our clients at the forefront of what we do. David is professional, creative and solution driven. He builds strong relationships and teams and cares about the people in the business.

I would strongly recommend David as someone with great intelligence, commercial and innovative flair and a real asset in any business.
