He has invested in over 150 early-stage tech companies, including two billion-dollar “unicorns,” and advises venture-capital funds, the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, and various tech businesses.
David’s Amazon #1 business bestseller, Non-Bullshit Innovation: 17 Proven Ways to Transform How You Work (Penguin), has been published in multiple languages, including Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Ukrainian. The book presents 17 proven strategies for future-proofing successful businesses in the face of technology-led disruption, helping leaders build resilience in an uncertain world.
David has written technology columns for The Times, GQ, Condé Nast Traveller, and The Sunday Times. He has delivered over 600 keynotes, often receiving repeat requests from clients such as Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Google, KPMG, McKinsey, Chanel, and Unilever. He has moderated events for the World Economic Forum, WIRED, and the UK and French governments, and is increasingly sought after to host virtual conferences.
David deconstructs tech trends in real time, explaining how innovations like artificial intelligence, quantum computing, autonomous vehicles, and more are changing businesses and consumers. He focuses on how technology-led innovation can build prosperity even during economic downturns and market crises. His presentations are full of insights into the future of technology, featuring lively examples and engaging video clips that often show that the future is already here.
Typically, David is asked to speak about the impact of innovation and technology on specific sectors (e.g., manufacturing, motoring) and how incumbent companies can protect themselves. He customizes each talk and has recently addressed audiences in finance, fashion, utilities, television, insurance, shipping, travel, real estate, and business software. He also frequently discusses changing business models and developing a culture of innovation. David continues to explore the future, always searching for what’s next.
