Dave has 35 years of law enforcement, investigation and fraud management experience including multiple international assignments. He is a recognised telecoms fraud expert and for a number of years chaired the GSMA workgroup responsible for Security & Fraud Risk Assessments.

Starting in HM Customs & Excise, Dave moved from uniformed duties to spend 5 years in Investigation before taking a commercial investigation role with Network Security Management. Amongst other assignments, this included a secondment to help establish the Jamaican Government’s Revenue Protection Division, where he made Jamaica’s largest ever financial recovery.

Following 6 years of commercial investigation, Dave joined Vodafone where, in the early days of mobile, he worked closely with law enforcement; he was one of the few civilians invited onto the Computer Crime Course at Bramshill. Dave’s counter-fraud initiatives saved millions in UK (e.g. £24m p.a. on credit card fraud) and he was seconded to help establish Corporate Security in the company’s largest networks, Turkey and India, and also performed fraud reviews for partner networks including Azerbaijan, Croatia, Libya and Ukraine. Dave now provides fraud management support as an independent consultant.
