David Cohen

For the greater part of my career, I was employed in the pharmaceutical industry and allied services sectors. I worked in multiple marketing and sales roles including to senior level, most recently in business development, all of which had a strong, overriding customer focus. As a result, I developed the ability to understand client needs and requirements and to propose and deliver optimal solutions to achieve set objectives and outcomes.

Moving into the events industry, specifically as a Managing Consultant with ICMI, these skills translate extremely well, equipping me with the tools and insights to work closely with clients in a consultative manner, in effect to become, a member of their team.

I derive a tremendous sense of achievement and pride in providing speaker and entertainer solutions that make my clients’ events truly memorable.

What is your greatest professional achievement?
Targeting the pharmaceutical industry, I established and managed a successful, high-growth, industry-leading, in-house pharmaceutical industry-funded franchise that provided Patient Support Programs and services designed to enhance patient treatment compliance and improve health outcomes.

What I love about being a part of the ICMI team
There is no ‘I’ in ‘TEAM’ at ICMI. When one of us is short on speaker ideas, the spirit of collaboration among the network of ICMI consultants in finding optimal solutions to client needs is truly remarkable. We are stronger together.

In addition, ICMI’s proven track record of exceptional service over 30 years delivers market credibility makes it easy to drive acceptance.

What I like to do on weekends
Relax with friends and family; partake in good food and wine (my wife is a great cook) read (mostly non-fiction); listen to music (a particular passion is Scandinavian jazz and world music ex-West Africa); take advantage of Sydney’s eastern suburbs’ magnificent coastal beach walks and vistas.
