David developed our corporate strategy for 2020-2025 and is now developing the next strategic framework for 2026-2030. The strategy he created enabled us to successfully transform from a local higher education institution into a transnational service provider with presence in Asian markets and partnerships with best-in-class tourism universities globally.
What distinguished David’s work was his extensive consultative approach across our stakeholder base, which created widespread consensus and ownership of the strategy. This collaborative process delivered the achievement of more than 99% of the objectives set out in the plan—a remarkable execution rate that reflects both the quality of the strategy and the buy-in it generated.
David’s ability to extract our institutional knowledge and translate it into clear, actionable strategy has been exceptional. His strategic frameworks continue to guide our most important decisions, including our Skills Pass digital learning initiative and market expansion efforts.
