About Diana Wu David
A former Financial Times executive with 30 years of corporate multinational and venture-backed start-up P&L experience, I am now a strategic advisor, executive coach and board director dedicated to empowering professionals, companies and boards. With a wealth of global experience in driving organizational excellence and transformation, I and my team specialize in helping individuals and organizations thrive in an ever-changing landscape. My passion for helping clients finding better ways to lead and work amid this volatility landed me as a Top 50 Global Future of Work Thought Leader (Onalytica) - one of only two in Asia. I also wrote the best-selling book, Future Proof: Reinventing Work in an Age of Acceleration to help people create agile careers across a 100-year life and we run a Future Proof community of senior executives going from success to significance. With board service across private, association, NGO and start-up boards, I help clients as a director or consultant to improve the functioning and results orientation of their boards, drawing on deep expertise in governance. I set up the Financial Times Board Director Programme in Asia, have delivered the mandatory accreditation programmes for Bursa Malaysia and worked with London Stock Exchange Group, Asia Development Bank, World Bank and others to support board effectiveness initiatives. Content shared on LinkedIn covers #boards #strategicforesight #futureofwork and articles I've written for publications including Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, Inc and Nikkei. I also speak globally as a futurist and trend watcher, future of work expert and board governance practitioner. I started out my career working on high level strategy as a management consultant and as an assistant to Dr. Henry Kissinger at Kissinger Associates in New York.
