David is the Chief Operations Officer of International Risk based in Hong Kong.
He has spent 28 years in the investigation and risk mitigation industry in Asia, including 22 years with the Royal Hong Kong Police from which he took early retirement in 1996 whilst in the rank of Detective Senior Superintendent. His role at International Risk requires him to oversee and co-ordinate all investigative, business intelligence and risk mitigation consulting assignments undertaken by International Risk, and personally to manage a broad range of investigative and consulting assignments on behalf of International Risk clients. He has been a Certified Fraud Examiner since 1995.

David has significant experience in the investigation of all types of business fraud and corruption, conflict of interest issues and other corporate integrity-related problems; in multi-jurisdiction asset searches and money laundering investigations; in the conduct of sophisticated business intelligence and off-balance sheet pre-transactional due diligence assignments; in consulting on brand protection issues, especially in emerging markets; in crisis contingency planning and response, and in security consulting. He has undertaken assignments for clients in the financial services, pharmaceutical, food & beverages, electronics, automotive, telecommunications, media and manufacturing sectors.

David spent the majority of his police career in the criminal investigation and criminal intelligence fields, including a period as head of the Interpol national sub-bureau. He has wide experience in the command and coordination of multi-disciplined resources, the conduct of both strategic and tactical intelligence operations and in the investigation of serious and complex cases, including fraud and organized crime.

Immediately prior to moving to the private sector David was deputy head of the Commercial Crime Bureau in Hong Kong. In this capacity he had operational responsibility for a 380-man unit responsible for the collection, collation, analysis and dissemination of commercial crime intelligence; for liaison with international law enforcement and regulatory agencies, banks, credit card organizations and the producers of banknotes and security papers; for the investigation of serious business fraud; and for operations to counter syndicates engaged in credit card fraud, currency counterfeiting, forgery of identity documents, and fake documentary credits and prime bank instruments.

David received local management, legal and Cantonese language training with the Hong Kong Police, and in 1991 he graduated from the Federal Bureau of Investigation National Academy program at Quantico, Virginia. He received a number of commendations during his police career, culminating in January 1996 with the award of the Colonial Police Medal for Meritorious Service by H.M. Queen Elizabeth.
