Personal
Dave is a father to two daughters, and he hopes he’ll get the hang of it soon. When he’s not working on that he’s likely to be playing his guitars (or thinking about buying another guitar). If it’s sunny you might find him in a field in Bedfordshire playing Jian Zi. He’s also an active member of his local church and works with a charity delivering restorative justice courses in prisons.
Dave has partnered with Bramble Energy, Carbon Re, Echopoint Medical, Humanloop, Intrinsic Semiconductors, IONATE, Oriole Networks, Phasecraft, Stanhope AI and Third Space Learning.
