Pioneering the use of the creative arts in business
Drawing on a lifetime’s experience in arts and business, David Pearl is a creative confidante to high-profile CEOs and their teams across the globe.
I made my singing debut at nine, on stage at the Royal Opera House alongside Plácido Domingo. I've toured the world as a musician, presented a music series on BBC2, started two opera companies and played cocktail piano (badly) in a few celebrated hotel lobbies.
For years I thought the stage was the most extraordinary place in the world. Then, in 1994, one of the world's leading firms asked for a radical new way to unlock their people's creativity. Three decades on, that question has become my life's work: bringing the intensity, presence and imagination of the arts into boardrooms, team meetings, city streets.
Today I'm a creative confidante to senior leaders, a speaker who weaves together the creative and the commercial, and with my team at Pearlworks, an Experience Engineer designing the high-stakes moments businesses remember.
There's more - the books, the non-profit Street Wisdom, a film-writing spell with Stanley Kubrick. But the thread is simple: finding the inspiration in the everyday, every day.
For the whole improbable journey from opera house to boardroom, feel free to download my bio.
