Computers, vinyl records, French culture, teaching, start-ups and the great outdoors. These are all things that have influenced Dave’s journey towards his current role as Director of Google’s Brand Studio here in Europe where he leads a team of creatives and technologists who invent interactive experiences to help people understand Google’s brand and products. After helping build a successful tech start-up in 1999, it seemed a natural step for Dave to join Google in 2007 to define the brand and advertising strategy behind Google for Work, initially here in Europe and then globally from Google’s headquarters in California, where his team helped the first 5 million businesses to ‘go Google’. Dave is now back in Europe and excited to bring people closer to Google through innovative interactive work that allows people to learn through play.
