How David is building a better working world
“In my work with family-owned enterprises, I support families in building efficiencies. Through the use of technology, structuring and governance, teams are freed up to maximize their potential. Although, I can’t control whether work is fun, I can support families to develop an environment where everyone is challenging themselves.”
