I bring a unique understanding of charitable foundations, and acute political antennae and sensitivity, combined with experience of dealing with politicians and officials at the highest levels.
Being people focused, my experience includes establishing, developing and maintaining relationships; and doing so between executives; between executives and trustees; and with external partners.
I have successfully enjoyed serving the Chairs and Boards of five separate membership associations, two foundations, and one commercial theatre board.
My strong presentation and speaking skills, honed over many years, are combined with extensive experience of clear and accessible professional writing.
“David has led ACF with charm, integrity and intelligence – all of which have been needed through some incredibly tricky times! He has been a constant supporter both of individual foundations and of the sector as a whole.”
“I’ve only known David for 3 months but he managed to expertly give me a whistle stop tour on the world of foundations. I learnt more in the 20 minutes I spent with him than I had in my first 2 weeks! Thank you for the invaluable advice.”
“David has always been enthusiastic and committed supporter of the charity sector, and his championship of foundations and their grant-making activities has been an encouragement to me and to others working in small trusts. He has helped make us feel as important as those working for our larger siblings. In addition, he’s a very nice person!”
