ABOUT DAVID CARTER
Director of Risk Management at GSK, with over two decades of experience delivering risk, resilience, and intelligence leadership across the pharmaceutical, financial services, public, and non-profit sectors.Specialising in the integration of enterprise risk management into complex, regulated environments, I currently lead risk strategy across AI/ML, Health Economics & Outcomes Research (HEOR), and Epidemiology within GSK R&D. My focus is on enabling scientific innovation through structured, forward-looking risk practices—aligning ambition with regulatory assurance, operational resilience, and data integrity.Across my career, I’ve built and led high-impact capabilities including AI-driven risk intelligence, causal risk modelling, and digital transformation of GRC frameworks. At Santander UK, I established a new intelligence-led resilience model; at AstraZeneca, I led strategic digital and data initiatives in precision medicine and genomics; and within the Army, I commanded operational engineering teams and led high-stakes logistics and transformation programmes.This cross-sector foundation enables me to connect strategic vision with operational delivery, driving transparency, capability uplift, and smarter decision-making in high-risk domains.
