David Kavanagh

David is a Qualified Financial Advisor and Pension Trustee Practitioner and holds a Bsc in Business & Finance. He has worked in a number of different roles in pensions in his 15 plus years in the industry. He began his career as head of administration and client servicing for a large self-directed pension provider and was involved in the introduction of a variety of self-directed structures to the market during that time. 

He then spent a number of years working in the advisory side of the market providing pension and investment advice to high net worth clients, which led him to the belief that a purely service based self-directed pension provider was missing in the market.
