David O'CT

David O'Connor Thompson

David joined GlobalGiving UK in September, 2013 as a volunteer to help with marketing strategy development and communications. David spent most of his career in advertising as a copywriter winning more awards than his mantelpiece can handle and rising to be the Creative Director of a number of London agencies. At a late age, he decided to get himself educated and applied to and, much to his surprise, succeeded in gaining a place a Sussex University where he was awarded a BA in English Literature and an MA in Modern French Thought. 'Je pense donc je suis constamment surpris,' as he is wont to say. Away from GlobalGiving, David spends most of his time instructing his grandchildren on the most fruitful ways to annoy their parents.
