My Story and Services

David has over 17 years of experience in financial markets, in New York, London, and Sydney.

Most recently, for the eight years prior to joining Morgan Stanley, David was a senior member of Magellan Financial Group’s investment team where he focused on finding undervalued technology companies in which to invest. In this role he dealt personally with the likes of Meta CEO (Mark Zuckerberg), Apple CFO (Luca Maestri), and other industry leaders on multiple occasions. At Magellan, David’s focus was on both protecting clients’ capital but importantly also on growing this capital, which is relevant to his role at Morgan Stanley as a private wealth adviser.
