A UK national, David started his career in IT then moved on to Telecoms, and was lucky enough to have been in at the inception of Orange's international exploits. David has spent the past 28 years working in the Middle and Far East and Europe.

Having been one of the original founders of Lanka Bell, (working out of his and his wife Ann's spare room in their apartment in Bangkok), David assisted fellow shareholders establish the company, and moved to Orange where he played a role in their international business development, and went on to become CEO of Orange in Holland.

He has helped to establish 'du' one of the most successful 2nd entrants to the Middle East telecoms scene ever, especially for a ground-breaking quad-play company featuring TV, BB and fixed and mobile telephony, with a public listing that far exceeded the expectations of its shareholders. Du has posted stellar growth and is now set on a solid growth trajectory.

David left du in 2008 and is exploring various initiatives in the telecoms arena.
