What makes David different?

As a China Expert, keynote speaker and thought leader, David is a charismatic and warm presenter with a unique ability to demystify a country that has long been hidden to the western world. He is bold in questioning the myths that many people have about embracing a view to China, and at the same time empowers audiences with clear takeaways enabling them to successfully see this opportunity for what it is.

David regularly travels to China on business, working with investors, entrepreneurs and companies who engage him to provide advice, support and guidance. As a result, you can be sure that his presentations will be full of stories, anecdotes and case studies gained from his experiences and observations on the ground.

Can David tailor his presentation to us?

Of course. David will always aim to tailor his message to meet your specific objectives and to meet the expectations and needs of your audience. David will normally ask for a briefing (email support@davidthomas.asia to book a meeting either over the phone or in person) and will often request more details about your event so he can fully prepare in advance.
