Background

About David Pittman

As a respected international B2B professional, I have deep experience of global supply chains as a result of covering industries from construction materials and machinery, mobile telecommunications and sporting goods, to my roles learning about and engaging with packaging and converting businesses. Whether in Europe, the US, the Middle East, or across Asia, I am adept at understanding and empathising with the needs of global B2B supply chains. My professional experiences have given me exposure and skills in all aspects of B2B supply chains, from meeting and interviewing high level senior executives, lead generation and prospecting, sales and marketing activations, event coordination and planning, to project management and fulfilment and business development. I have a proven track record in taking complicated, cutting/bleeding edge and tertiary subject matter, and translating it into useful, understandable and relatable content and information for an international audience, and stakeholders with different levels of comprehension and interest - from machine operators in India to CEOs of multimillion dollar corporations in North America. This also results in actionable relationships and results for my employers. I am a strong believer in investing in the future, both in new technologies to serve emerging markets and in the next generation of trade professionals through education, training and guidance. I also have a keen interest in start-up and breakthrough businesses/technologies - Artic Crane (crane manufacture), Giffgaff (MVNO), Synthogra (packaging materials) and Highcon (packaging converting) being notable examples.
