About the Host

David Cox —
20 years transforming
organisations through CX.

My Story

I began my career as a Chartered Accountant before moving into transformation and customer experience leadership. At ONO in Spain, I helped shift the company from an acquisition-driven startup into a customer-focused challenger to Telefónica. That experience ignited my passion for CX — and for the last 20 years I've worked with leading organisations worldwide to embed customer centricity at their core.

My Experience

I've partnered with Vodafone, Ooredoo, Bupa, DAZN, Banco BV, Nextel and more, driving measurable improvements in loyalty, churn, and growth. My blend of financial discipline and CX expertise ensures every transformation links directly to business performance.

My Approach — a proven 3-phase framework

01

Fix the Pain

Remove friction by addressing the biggest sources of customer dissatisfaction — the moments that silently drive churn.

02

Create the Love

Build branded, emotionally engaging experiences that customers rave about and that competitors can't easily copy.

Align the Culture

Ensure employees live and breathe the customer promise every day — so great CX becomes the natural default, not an initiative.
