David had been working in European private equity for several years before he joined Actis in 2006. He spent three years at Ernst & Young’s Private Equity Group in London, followed by two years at Bridgepoint Capital, but was looking to return to what he calls “an African context.” Actis was the obvious choice, as a leading player in African private equity with a global outlook.David thrives in Actis’ high-energy environment, working alongside an investment team that draws on varied and rich experiences. He believes it is a privilege as well to work for a company where you get to meet so many passionate and successful people every day.David holds a social sciences bachelor’s degree from the University of Cape Town and a postgraduate degree in business administration from the Wits Business School in South Africa. He is a CFA Charterholder.
