A seasoned (but not too spicy!) speaker with over 40 years experience, David Gouthro is a sought-after consultant who is best known for his creative presentations, playful demeanor, and relentless focus on delivering value to his clients, colleagues and community. David’s experience comes from supporting clients on four continents, in organizations that range from mining, energy, healthcare and financial services… to high tech, biotech, government and the not-for profit sector.
As the father of a precocious 21-year-old daughter Anna, he has been forced to embrace the qualities of humility, patience, good humour and… acceptance of his own parental inadequacies!

This has led him to spend the majority of his time helping executive teams and Boards make the tough decisions required to grow their businesses in a complex and unpredictable economic environment.
