David Matthews has been involved in renewable energy since 1991 in hydropower and then on- and offshore wind. He has worked with three major wind OEMs: GE, Vestas and AREVA in various senior leadership roles, predominantly in sales with global teams.

Today, David holds a strategy position within Clarksons and their renewables team and is focussed on supporting developers and the supply chain to meet the challenges faced with the global expansion and adoption of offshore wind. He has a specific passion for finding solutions and exploring ways in wind to increase HSE, production and reduce LCOE by championing innovation and suppliers with the same focus.
