David Walker-Smith
Trustee and Non-Executive Director
I bring more than 20 years experience as a trusted advisor to owners, boards, CEOs and senior management of financial institutions and other companies. I contribute to boards through my deep understanding of financial, regulatory and business risk – and especially how to manage risk while nonetheless achieving superior financial success and growth for the business. My ability to provide quality input to boards is grounded in over 40 years in executive positions, setting strategy, managing risk, driving revenue growth and managing teams of people at senior levels. Together with my broad strategic understanding of finance and business, my experience in markets across the world lets me provide a seasoned and balanced perspective that brings value to board deliberations.
