  • Summary

  • In his first week at Oxford, David had to swear an oath not to burn down the university library… in Latin. 🔥

    David’s mum worked the night shift in Sainsbury’s and his dad was a technician in the NHS. Before stepping foot onto campus, David did not see university as a place for him. In fact, if it wasn’t for the efforts of his English teacher - who drove him around Oxford University and wouldn’t let him go home until he’d submitted an application - he would have never applied.

    Fast forward to today, from creating the UK’s first online student newspaper, to overseeing a technological revolution at the Mirror Newspapers, David is now one of the senior executives at Google.

    In this episode, I chat to David about the positives of being from two different worlds, how even as an MD he still suffers from the odd bout of imposter syndrome, and the role that companies can play in driving forward social mobility agenda.
