In cliché fashion, David’s life was transformed after a trip to Africa. His ensuing soul searching led him to quit his Bay Street career on a quest to effect positive change. Currently there are two levers David is pulling to effect change. As Director of Impact Investing at World Vision Canada he is mobilizing investment capital to help the world’s most vulnerable people. He also founded Kind Wealth, a not-just-for-profit business helping generations X, Y, and Z manage their finances in alignment with their values.

David has lived, worked, and volunteered at various times throughout Africa. One of his proudest accomplishments is founding and running Grassroots Youth Development while living in South Africa. David is a frequent speaker at conferences and in the media. David spent 13 years as Director of Manager Research with Morningstar; a global investment data & research provider. David holds a BA in English Literature from the University of Toronto, an MBA from the Rotman School
