Twenty-plus years helping multinationals improve how learning and capability development operate at scale — strategic design, honest measurement and AI-enabled innovation, with the hands-on credibility to make it real.
I diagnose root causes, align diverse stakeholders and design human-centred learning that improves readiness, adoption and business performance. At Takeda I built the instructional design strategy and Learning Design System behind 18,000+ employees across 30+ sites, and led AI-augmented production that halved development cycles. At Credit Suisse I delivered 35 global projects in 18 months — on time, on budget.
Before learning leadership, I worked in software engineering and digital innovation. That background is why I can sit between business, learning, technology and AI without a translator.
"He might be one of your greatest assets to hire. Few people are as knowledgeable, inspiring and collaborative like David."
"In today's environment where embedding AI in the workflow is among the highest demand, I cannot recommend David more."
"He is a true digital innovator and learning leader, with a natural ability to build communities and bring people along on the journey."
"When facing complex challenges, David brings structure, calm, and forward momentum. He is someone you can confidently turn to when you are working through a difficult or ambiguous problem."
I'll tell you whether learning is the answer — and what to do if it isn't.
