My guest on S3 Ep 3 of the Performance Leaders podcast is David Patient from Travers Smith.
David trained at Travers Smith and became a partner in 1999, specialising in UK and international M&A. He established the firm’s Paris office in the same year.
In this episode David reflects on his time as Managing Partner, building a talented leadership team, the firm’s strategic goals and change agenda, and leading a high-performance firm.
We touch on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), legacy, managing partner peer support, the unique Travers Smith office set up, and more.
We hope you enjoy this episode.
