David is CEO of Seccl, the embedded investment platform which is helping more people to invest – and invest well. He’s hugely excited to see what the company can achieve by combining its API-first technology, a positive, relevant culture and the financial strength afforded by Octopus’ ownership at a time when modern technology (especially connectivity) and doing the right thing have never been more important.

He was previously founder and CEO of Nucleus, where he created a distinctive and customer-led culture that helped the investment platform grow from start-up to £20bn in AUA when he departed.

Away from work, David lives in Edinburgh with his wife Monique, children Nicole and Angus and dog Themba. He’s into live music, dining in, dining out and various sporting interests.
