Born in Kenya and, like a number of our team, trained in South Africa, David has always had an eye for justice and migration. Working in Ethiopia, Malawi, Uganda and elsewhere, he is interested in development finance, populations, and infrastructure. Essentially, the ins and outs of how services are realised materially. His commitment to the mechanics of development, from higher bodies both international and domestic all the way down to the people in need of aid on the ground, gives our work a strong footing.

In Frame45 he found a “no-box” approach. Not simply “out of the box” but divorced from the notion of boxes altogether, we are determined to make space for perspectives previously unheard. To this, David brings a focus on the fiscal and economic factors that drive migration decisions, as well as a head for demography and entrepreneurship.
