David is senior partner and managing director of Primary Asset Consulting Pty Ltd. Australian born, his university education was undertaken in Switzerland in the early 1990s. David was an honours graduate and on completion of his studies he accepted a position in Moscow, excited by the prospect of working in a society which was adapting to a new openness and a massive restructuring. He remained in Moscow for five years, consulting for local firms and international corporations and eventually establishing an executive-search business.

David returned to Australia in 1999 to join a leading executive-recruitment firm for which he built a highly successful financial-services practice.

In 2004 David established Primary Asset Consulting to extend the high quality and innovative financial-services options he had developed.

David has been the driving force behind the evolution of creative financial advisory services including team lift-outs, funds-manager incubation, acquisitions and divestment. He specialises in C-level, executive and leadership roles.
