David has worked across the full breadth of the energy utility value chain, from software and silicon design and hardware product development, to utility network operations. He has also led major smart energy implementation projects, including a consortium proposal to the UK Government’s smart metering procurement process and an ICT refresh programme for a power distribution company in Ghana.

In 2014, David was invited to take an ongoing advisory role on the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Sustainable Energy and Energy Efficiency committees, tasked with developing strategy to support the UN’s 10-year Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL) initiative.
