James Harbidge

I had a front row seat to David growing Gentrack in the UK over a four year period from market entry to 60+ staff, a new office and business successes over established multinationals in a traditional market. This work made Gentrack big news in New Zealand and beyond and can be attributed to David's excellent interpersonal skills, business acumen and ambition. A real asset to any organisation.

David and I worked together on cyber security risk for European utilities. He brings enormous insight to the realities of cyber threats & vulnerabilities to process control systems, and he has a great depth of understanding in how to tackle the challenges that this raises for infrastructure operators. I enjoyed working with David immensely, and would recommend him as an expert partner for his approach and knowledge in this field.
