Presenter Dave Coker has over 25 years of Investment Banking and Financial Services experience, starting on Wall Street with Dow Jones in 1987, Dave moved to Deutsche Bank in 1992 where he spent the bulk of his career. Still with Deutsche Bank, Dave relocated to Europe in the late 1990s, later taking positions with ABN AMRO and Moody’s.
