David Leon is a Director at Synoptique. He possess expertise in business transformation, it strategy, management consulting, strategy, business process improvement and 14 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "David and I have worked together for 3 years in the D&A team at Nationwide. David's knowledgeable background and industry insight enabled him to create a first class strategy and Target Operating Model for D&A, which he then led the implementation of, across a £50m+ portfolio of change spanning data platforms, analytics, member data, data security and insights. As the D&A Change Director, David led the delivery team through times of significant organisation and cultural change, enabling and supporting the team to keep to their delivery commitments. Specifically, during 2020, David's connection to the team, remotely, demonstrated his ethic of care about his people. As a member of David's team I have found him one of the best managers to work for and would highly recommend him in roles involving strategy, team leadership/coaching, change delivery and business consultancy." and "I worked for David for a number of years at Nationwide within the Data and Analytics community. In that time I can honestly say that David is one of the standout best line managers that I have had across my career. He is superb at balancing the need to lead with the need to support, giving ample freedom to succeed, whilst always willing to roll up his sleeves whenever necessary. He is also great at understanding the role of politics in organisations whilst remaining non-partisan in his conduct in pursuit of the right outcomes for the business. This often means putting the needs of the organisation ahead of his own, regardless of how this may impact him personally. David is also highly logical and able to reason his logic, such that he takes his teams with him, with everyone having a clear view on the direction of travel. Finally, I would say that David is non-hierarchical and has a permanent “door open” approach. This is highly effective in creating a sense of team in which we all play a part, albeit with different roles. In summary, David would be a steal for any organisation and I would relish the opportunity to work with him again in any capacity. His calm, level headed, fair and logical approach are a rare combination in any setting. I would be happy to talk through any of these points in more detail with prospective employers. Matt Gunn"
