Fractional sustainability, strategy & proptech leadership — from an operator who's led teams, held budgets, and delivered at Whitbread, KPMG, and Currys.
About David Ville
I've spent over 15 years inside some of the UK's most complex organisations — leading teams, owning budgets and translating boardroom ambition into results that actually show up in the numbers. KPMG, Whitbread, Currys, Thomas Cook.
I work with leadership teams on the challenges that matter most: decarbonising operations, harnessing technology to unlock new value, and building the capability to sustain it — without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.
I hold an MSc in Leadership for Sustainable Development from Forum for the Future and sit on the advisory boards of several early-stage businesses in sustainability and PropTech.
