I'm a serial entrepreneur, longtermist, and big-picture, systems thinker. After years focused on the Future of Work I am turning my attention to AI Governance - namely how we might grow and organise the space to rapidly increase the productivity and capability of the community ensuring this transformational technology leads to social good.
I spend 70% of my time on that project, and 30% as an executive coach which is a source of both income and energy.
I built and still run LifeWork - a payment platform to ensure freelancers get paid faster and more securely, enabling the freelance economy and an inclusive future of work - and The Small Business School Challenge - the leading business school case competition having delivered over $1m in impact to small business owners.
As a McKinsey consultant I focused on organisation design and effectiveness, as well as directing research on DEI and talent.
Thanks, Charles. I will do.
Thanks, both. Have fixed!

Would love to!
Hi everyone! I'm David Corfield.
I'm a serial entrepreneur and former McKinsey consultant, at the end of a three month sabbatical spent determining the highest impact x personal fit focus for the next chapter of my career. I've settled on AI Governance. I've been aware of the EA community for a few years, but have particular thanks to Jack Sennet and Sarah Pomeranz for connecting me with the leading lights in the AI Governance field.
I'm excited to say that tomorrow I will be announcing the launch of my project to grow the AI Governance community. I won't say more here, just that if AI Governance is important or interesting to you then make sure you follow or message me to make sure you don't miss the announcement.
Stay tuned,
David
