I WORK WITH FOUNDERS AND LEADERSHIP TEAMS WHEN THEIR BUSINESS BECOMES MORE COMPLEX THAN EXPECTED.
Agency founder and managing director with 25+ years across creative, digital and agency businesses.

I now work with a small number of organisations each year as a fractional leader and trusted advisor.
WHAT I TEND TO GET INVOLVED
Usually when:
The business has outgrown how it works
Leadership teams are under pressure or out of alignment
Growth is creating operational strain
Important decisions need clearer thinking
I help make sense of what’s going on, bring structure where needed, and support better decisions as things evolve.

HOW I WORK
I don’t usually work on projects or day rates.
I work with a small number of organisations on a monthly basis, either as:
Fractional leadership
Closer support inside the business
Strategic advisory
Ongoing support for founders and senior teams
BACKGROUND
I’ve spent over 25 years in agencies and digital businesses. Most recently as Managing Director of Evo Agency. Before that, I founded, ran and exited my own agency between 2010 and 2020. Earlier in my career I worked in the creative industry with major global brands, building a broad base of commercial, operational and people experience.
“I’ve worked with Dave on many occasions over 15+ years. He reads situations quickly, clearly, and brings a diligent, detail-focused approach. He’s comfortable with complexity and pressure, and is a trusted and reliable partner for any business.”
Richard Townsend - CEO, Entrepreneur, Investor
“Dave has a rare ability to step into complex situations and make sense of them quickly. He cuts through noise, sees what matters, and helps people move forward with confidence.”
Lloyd Skinner - Founder, CEO, International Speaker, NED
"Dave is one of those rare leaders who has owned and run his own agency, and brings that experience to any challenge a founder or owner may be facing. He quickly identifies what matters and helps shape solutions that are both meaningful and impactful. He’s one of the most articulate professionals I know, and I would fully recommend working with him."
Nick Hussey - Managing Director / COO
If you’re dealing with something that feels more complicated than it should, I’m always open to an initial conversation.
