Headline Partner

Dave Monks, Global Vice President Data and Analytics, Software Engineering and UX, Brambles Ltd

I have 25 years of experience in data and analytics, working for major multinationals. Over the past 13 years, I have led diverse global teams and transformations at Brambles, Reckitt, Diageo, and Yildiz Holding (pladis). This has provided me with insights into driving fast results and managing complex organisational challenges. 

Being neurodiverse offers a different perspective, creative edge, and strong focus, aiding in problem-solving and achieving outcomes. As an advocate for neurodiversity at Brambles, I support diverse teams as they contribute to better performance, retention, and financial results.  

As a leader, I am recognised for being highly technical and known for getting things done, fostering a data-driven culture, enhancing data, and AI literacy, and developing high-performing teams in collaboration with internal and external partners, while maintaining an empowering, energetic, and fun work environment. Over the last decade I have led geographically distributed global teams and large D&A transformation programmes valuing in the tens of millions.
