About David

David began his career with Ketchum Public Relations in Washington, D. C., delivering award-winning campaigns for the agency’s leading clients. David joined Ketchum’s offices in Munich and in London, leading pan-European teams to support the firm’s largest multi-national accounts.

In these roles, David developed his skills in working with senior leaders – helping them prepare for major presentations and media opportunities. David’s ability to distil complex ideas into clear, compelling messages made him a valued partner to C-Suite executives in several organisations. David went on to pursue coaching certification from The Coaching Academy and the Behavioural Coaching Institute.

David established his own consultancy in 2004 to provide communications counsel and professional development services. He has since helped hundreds of people in the world’s most recognised and respected organisations to amplify their ideas and elevate their performance.
