Three things to know about Dave
Who inspires you and why?
Entrepreneurial clients. Having been in business myself, I know how challenging it can be, especially if you have a fresh outlook and people don’t understand the opportunity you perceive. Entrepreneurs are the life-blood of the economy. May we long remain an entrepreneur-friendly country! I really admire entrepreneurs’ determination, vision, tenacity and bravery.

Who would play you in your biopic?
