His mandates typically cover partner identification, commercial positioning, stakeholder engagement, negotiation support, and end-to-end execution through to signed outcomes.

Alongside commercial work, David has operated at the interface between government, academia, and industry in the UK, supporting China-related commercial engagement, innovation activity, and institutional collaboration. In parallel, he has been active in China–UK academic engagement, guest lecturing in Beijing and Shanghai on innovation and entrepreneurship.
