SKILLS
ABOUT DAVID HUNTER
With 25+ years in tech and B2B, I specialise in business development, ecosystem‑driven growth and market expansion – in both normal conditions and when things are genuinely difficult (pricing and distance disadvantages, underperforming teams, intense competition, even government sanctions). I’m a strategic sales and business leader, open to senior permanent, fractional, interim and advisory roles where growth, partnerships and opening new markets are central.I help organisations build and scale platforms and partner networks, open new markets and strategic relationships, and turn stalled or early‑stage commercial efforts into predictable, sustainable growth. Typical work includes partner development, data‑driven go‑to‑market strategy and strategic alliances that unlock new revenue.Examples of outcomes:Grew Huawei’s mobile ecosystem and AppGallery into one of the world’s top three app stores despite US trade restrictions – expanding the user base from 2M to 106M and regional revenues from £1M to £100M over four years.Built Sony DADC’s UK third‑party business from scratch to £80M p.a, overcoming pricing and location challenges to deliver sustained year‑on‑year growth, including securing a 10‑year £100M BBC alliance and catalysing a £150M investment in local UK production and distribution facilities.Led DubLi’s expansion into Canada, Russia, India and Europe, opening new categories and driving a 1,200% sales increase and a 3K→7K uplift in brand engagement.Helped transform start‑ups such as Cube Video into award‑winning companies through focused commercial strategy, go‑to‑market and growth initiatives.Alongside senior in‑house roles, I founded Concepts & Solutions and for 20+ years, advised founders, corporates and investors on business growth, partnerships, market expansion and commercial transformation.If you are pursuing ambitious growth in favourable conditions or facing serious constraints, I’d be happy to explore whether a senior permanent, fractional, interim or advisory engagement would be the best fit.
