David Pattison

David left school not really knowing what he wanted to do. Joined the advertising industry and over the next forty years has worked in a range of businesses. He has started things-PHD, sold things, merged things, bought things. Worked in New York, been to Harvard, opened offices in thirty plus countries, been President of the IPA. Has been lucky enough to persuade very smart people to partner him, particularly Nick Horswell and Jonathan Durden at PHD. He now helps a range of businesses with investment, advice, chairmanship and helping them become commercially successful. Acting as a ‘wingman’, watching the backs of businesses to help them and their CEO's avoid the pitfalls that come with starting and growing a business. For relaxation he has recently started racing cars. Still doesn’t know what he wants to do but its been an amazing journey so far.
