David spent the first part of his career at Morgan Stanley and Barclays before following a more entrepreneurial path in the food and drink industry. Among David’s notable successes have been the setting up and subsequent sale of Swedish oat-based ingredients company, Biovelop, to FTSE 250-constituent, Tate & Lyle, and being the Founder and CEO of Oatworks, a pioneering US-based consumer brand in the then-nascent oat drink category. More recently, David has been Head of UK for the Swedish oat milk brand, Oatly, playing a key role in the brand’s growth in the UK, and founded his own consultancy business, working with investors and brands in the plant-based alt dairy sector
