Connective3 announces David White as new CEO
Following a recent capital investment from Foresight Group, we’re excited to announce a strategic evolution of our executive leadership team to support our next phase of growth.
Today, we’re announcing the promotion of David White to CEO, following his previous role as Chief Growth Officer (CGO).
The role will see David, who is also a founder of the agency, take over from current CEO, Tim Grice, as Tim moves into the position of Group CEO following the recent growth investment from leading regional private equity and real assets investment manager Foresight Group.
As we enter our seventh year of trading, the leadership transition will see David continue to drive the agency’s growth strategy, leading our teams across Leeds, Manchester and London while supporting the business’s wider ambitions around AI technology, international expansion and strategic growth.
Tim will transition into the role of Group CEO, where he will focus on the Group’s wider growth strategy and strategic acquisitions.
David White, CEO, commented:
“I’m incredibly honoured to be taking on the role of CEO at Connective3 and to have the opportunity to lead the agency through its next phase of growth.
“Having been part of Connective3 since day one, I’m immensely proud of what we’ve built, the team we’ve created and the work we deliver for our clients. With the recent investment from Foresight Group, we have an exciting opportunity to accelerate our ambitions, continue investing in our people and technology, expand internationally and build on everything we’ve achieved over the past seven years.
“I’m looking forward to working alongside Tim and the wider leadership team as we enter this next chapter and continue our ambition to build the world’s leading demand and performance marketing group.”
Tim Grice, Group CEO, said:
“David has been instrumental in building Connective3 from day one. As one of our original management team, he has helped shape our culture, our proposition and our growth, making him the natural person to lead the agency into its next chapter. He knows our business, our people and our clients inside out.
As Group CEO, my focus is on accelerating growth across the wider group through acquisitions, AI, international expansion and bringing great businesses together. David and I will continue to work closely to ensure Connective3 and the wider group grow with the same ambition, culture and client-first approach that has defined us from the beginning.”
