David was an early pioneer in applying artificial intelligence and machine learning in financial services. As a founding director of Previse, one of the first companies to use AI to make supplier payments instant, he played a key role in securing significant investment and building strategic momentum in the early days of the AI-in-fintech movement.
He was also the founder of Oxygen Finance ("Oxygen"), a pioneering early payment platform focused on the public sector. David raised the initial £20 million and led the business through to its acquisition by Arrowgrass. Under his leadership, Oxygen secured major contracts and grew into a leading fintech with strong recurring revenues.
Over the past 20 years, David has launched and scaled multiple ventures across the fintech landscape, earning accolades including Fintech New Product of the Year 2023 and Microsoft Growth X Winner 2021.
