David has been involved in corporate governance discussions, debates and associated structural deliberations for more than 25 years. He has a keen and sustained interest in international contemporary governance thinking driven by his several roles at the Australian Securities Exchange (‘ASX’), including as a legal and regulatory counsel, in strategy, and as head of corporate affairs.
He was also the program manager for the then ASX Chairman's Governance Taskforce and sat on the ASX Board sub-committee that transformed ASX through its demutualisation to become listed on its own exchange - a world first at the time.
At ASX, David also worked with the then Chief Supervisory Officer and her team that formulated the initial ASX Corporate Governance Council agenda, culminating in him facilitating the final consultations leading to the publication of the 1st Edition of the ASX Corporate Governance Council Principles & Recommendations
