David Purse is the Global Mobility & Payroll Partner in our Payroll and Employment Taxes team based in our London office.
With the experience gained through 17 years practicing in EMEA, APAC, and the Americas, he specialises in advising and consulting with a wide range of clients on all matters concerning their cross-border operations and international workforce deployment.
“Through successful partnerships with a wide range of clients with varying scale and complexities across geographies and sectors, I’ve been able to identify how AAB’s market leading technology can be positioned in providing a truly end-to-end global mobility management solution.
With the primary aim of ensuring our clients are globally compliant, our technology solution not only provides real-time access to a myriad of data visualisation analytics, but also enables them to optimise the value of their data to make proactive, strategic, business decisions.”
“I value and respect the strategic partnerships we have built across the globe with highly acclaimed professional service and immigration firms. These trusted affiliations enable a bespoke proposition, tailored to the client’s individual requirements with the aim of providing a best-in-class solution.
I am fortunate to partner with inspiring companies, both globally established and those with international growth aspirations. A large part of my role is to continue to foster the success of these partnerships, as well as identifying opportunities to further enhance our international profile.
“I’m always looking for new opportunities, pushing the boundaries and challenging the status-quo to improve and grow. To remain at the forefront of what we do, we need to continue to think differently and that is what drives me.
With the rapid international expansion we have experienced, it’s an exciting time to be working at AAB, we’re a progressive firm, we’re able to recruit the best people, continue to develop technology and to provide our clients with the best service possible.”
“I’m passionate about the support I provide to clients. I genuinely believe to be a service leader, we must actively seek feedback, listen to it, and allow it to help us think differently and to constantly evolve.”
