David began his career in 2009 in the UK banking sector before moving into resource augmentation in 2011. Since stepping into recruitment leadership roles in 2016, he has built experience across executive search, contingent recruitment, and managed solutions, supporting complex global organisations. After relocating to Hong Kong in 2019, his regional and international market exposure grew further.

Prior to joining ConnectedGroup, he held senior roles with McGregor Boyall, Page Outsourcing, Spencer Ogden, and NES Fircroft, working closely with enterprise-level clients across regulated and international environments. His career has taken him across London, New York, Houston, Hong Kong, and Singapore, providing a practical, global view of how workforce strategies are delivered across different markets.

He joined ConnectedGroup in July 2025 as Associate Director for ConnectedSolutions, where he oversees sales strategy and delivers workforce solutions across resource augmentation, managed solutions, and design, deploy and transition frameworks. In this role, he manages major enterprise accounts and works closely with account management and delivery teams to ensure solutions meet both immediate project needs and longer-term business goals.

With over 14 years of global experience, he takes a consultative and pragmatic approach to client engagement, helping organisations build flexible resourcing solutions in complex and regulated environments. He also supports executive-level searches within the change and transformation space and is known as a hands-on leader who values coaching and mentoring. He is motivated by solving problems for clients and enjoys the fact that no two days are ever the same.
