About David Buggie

David is a Director of Lacerta Consulting and is a professional coach and OD specialist working with leaders, teams and organisations. Prior to consulting, he worked in a multi-national company for over 20 years and has a wealth of experience in developing and leading teams. Over the last five years David has worked alongside senior leaders, transforming their leadership practice and organisational performance in response to new challenges and opportunities. David began his career as a graduate Engineer in Siemens and through his career earned an MBA as well as postgraduate diplomas in Executive Coaching and Team Coaching. He is accredited by EMCC as a senior practitioner coach. He combines real world operational leadership know-how with a coaching led approach to change and development. David most often finds himself working in engineering and technical environments helping leaders and their teams respond to the mega-trends of digital transformation, sustainability, energy transition and employee engagement. His technical background as an Engineer and experience as senior manager enable him to connect, understand and provide healthy challenge to his clients and partners. Over his career, he has lived in Asia, the Middle East, North and South America, the UK and Germany. This experience has given David a deep appreciation for different perspectives and ways of understanding which he applies in his work. As a result of his corporate career David values the role large organisations play in society. In his early career, David experienced the local impact of electrification in rural Pakistan and later in life, when flying over rows of wind turbines in the North Sea, the effect of generating renewable energy for Europe. Large traditional companies with deep commercial and technical resources have an important role to play in our collective future and David is passionate about enabling them to do it.
