About David

I help organisations gain full visibility and control over their IT investments.
With a strong background in IT portfolio governance, financial tracking and management reporting, I work with large financial institutions and corporates to structure their IT investment oversight — from OPEX/CAPEX tracking to executive dashboards.

What I bring:
  • End-to-end IT portfolio management: forecast, actuals, budget consolidation, OPEX/CAPEX
  • Production of management reporting (Excel, PowerPoint, Power BI, Clarity)
  • Data consolidation from multiple tools and sources, with a focus on data quality
  • Challenging project managers and bridging Finance, IT and Executive teams
  • Comfortable in complex, multi-entity environments with many stakeholders

Most recently at Euroclear (4.5 years), I managed the financial oversight of a strategic IT portfolio within the Group Transformation division, with a strong focus on forecasting accuracy, reporting reliability and governance.
