Ep 96: International Conflict Management with David Nevin

SHINY HAPPY PEOPLE with Vinay Kumar

It’s not often that we have someone who has not only worked on but is an expert on managing ocean/island jurisdictional disputes. Meet the versatile David Nevin , Managing Director of Top Cloud Collaboration, originally from Canada who has lived and worked in Japan and APAC since the 1990s. An expert in international conflict management, David is a professional facilitator, executive coach, senior consultant and a global leadership development specialist, with more than fifteen years of experience developing the skills and capabilities of executives for organizations such as Amazon, ARM, Astellas, Fujitsu, Goldman Sachs, Intel, Lenovo, and Maersk.
Committed to fostering intercultural mindsets, David works to improve the ability of diverse teams to tap their creative potential, not by avoiding confrontation but by engaging in active and constructive debate. David is a member of the International Association of Facilitators (IAF) and the International Coach Federation (ICF).
As David dials in from his current home base of Chiang Mai, Thailand, Vinay finds out about his journey so far, his work with global corporates and on managing disputes in diverse situations and projects affiliated to United Nations in Asia.
