David O'Connor
Helps senior and commercial teams sharpen the decisions that drive growth, grounded in twenty years in finance.
David O'Connor spent twenty years in finance, the last of them as Global Reporting Director at Rothschild Trust, running growth and transformation across Dublin, London, Sydney, and Zurich. Then he changed the work to developing the leaders who do it.
He is Director of Custom Programmes at the University of St. Gallen Executive School, where he designs and teaches bespoke executive leadership programmes, and the founding partner of his own boutique, Integral Consulting, in Zurich. He holds an Executive Master's in Positive Leadership, Strategy and Transformation, is a certified teacher of the Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute, and is a Fellow of the Irish Chartered Accountants, a reminder of where he began. His two frameworks, The Resilient You and The Transformative Team, have been refined across hundreds of workshops and more than a thousand hours of executive coaching. Clients describe a manner that is no-nonsense and deeply empathetic at once. He already works with 100Facets, pairing the platform's read of a team with his own human-first delivery. In his career David has worked with clients such as UNICEF, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, UBS, Vontobel, Siemens, Vorwerk, and Metrohm.
What David helps with
David works with senior leaders and their teams, often in large, complex organisations. His Resilient You work helps a leader hold up under pressure, by building personal resilience and self-leadership on neuroscience-based foundations. His Transformative Team work helps a team work better together, by treating it as a living system and improving how it decides and collaborates. And because he measures cultural change rather than asserting it, he helps an organisation prove a transformation actually happened. His delivery joins his own coaching to the 100Facets diagnostic, so the human read and the data point the same way.
