David

Chief Analytics Officer

I graduated from Imperial College London, with a BSc in Physics, went on to achieve a PhD in Computational Physics.

Prior to joining OC&C I worked at a variety of different Strategy Consulting firms and was also a VP at a US Big Data Analytics firm.

The main reasons for my joining OC&C were the firm’s enviable reputation in industries that interest me and the firm’s desire to develop an analytics capability to help create better and more incisive strategy recommendations for our clients.

My role in the firm is split between sales and delivery of client work, custodian role of our analytics methodologies and tools, and nurturing and growing our analytics team.

Strategy consulting definitely ticks the boxes of varied, interesting and challenging problems as well as personal development.

I have had many memorable project experiences, from being a VIP guest at the opening of the first KFC in the Ivory Coast, to standing on a hill in Tromso in Norway and looking at the midnight sun.

Outside work I spend most of my time with my family, helping my son improve his basketball game and most weekends I try to improve my piloting skill by flying aeroplanes both normally as well as ‘upside down’.
