David Norris’s Summary

If you think up some great ideas, if your friend sells those ideas, and you've got a finance guy to sort out the funding, I'm your guy to get it done. Delivery, execution, building the factory, that's me. More than just a production line manager, I'll bring creative thinking to the table and build a great team around product strategy, production and business operations.

I stated my career in travel (tour operating), then moved online in 2000. Since then I've worked in fast growing companies in travel & leisure.

Recently I've turned my hand to the hospitaility industry. At Livebookings Network, we're building the world's biggest distribution network for online restaurant reservations. It's fun, fast and challenging.
