Bio

Dave's first career was as a leadership and innovation adviser to influential organisations across government, resources, financial services and technology, working where risk and innovation meet. He is design-trained (RMIT), with an MBA in innovation (Deakin) and an award-winning entrepreneurial track record.

For many years he has worked as a long-term strategic and transformation adviser to principals, business managers and boards, and today leads EthosOne's thinking on AI governance in regulated industries.

Writes about

  • AI governance in schools

    Who decides, what is logged, and which of the duties a school already carries AI now touches.

    AI governance for schools

  • Sovereign AI and security

    Where a school's data goes, where the model runs, and what never leaves the country.

    Security

  • Risk assessments and WHS

    The difference between a register and an assessment, and the evidence a regulator looks for.

    Risk assessments and WHS

  • Starting with the board
