Bio
Paul Borrill
I interviewed David for a vacancy at Aviva by telephone for just half an hour. That was enough time to tell me he was the right person for the role he performed successfully from April 2016 to September 2017. He lead his team through a difficult period when its closure was announced and during the process of transferring the work out of the department. The core team was retained and developed during this time, helped in no small measure by David's positive messaging and encouragement. At the same time David became a dependable subject matter expert able to resolve complex problems by working closely with accounting, actuarial, investment, IT, group and consolidation reporting teams. Fund monthly results were reported and explained clearly and accurately, and sensible solutions were found to resolve the numerous queries that were sent David's way. I have no reservations in highly recommending David for future employment.

David and I worked together to implement and launch American Express Cards and Business Travel Accounts for SCB in the UK. The project was highly complex and managing the change effectively in the expense process across SCB's employees was of utmost importance; especially given the initiative was sponsored by the European CEO and CFO. David appointed key members of the SCB project team and his attention to detail and leadership style ensured the new process and use of systems was executed flawlessly. I found David a pleasure to work with and he always employed a "can do" attitude to navigate our way around all hurdles we encountered.
