David Freeman

David's experience primarily centers on the high growth start up space in addition to the sustainable development industry. Prior to joining BHI in its Technology Banking department, David was a Portfolio Analyst at Square 1 Bank where he served the Boston and NYC venture debt portfolios. As one of the first employees at Gecko Health Innovations, David worked alongside the founders providing valuation and business development support to successfully close capital raises from angels and strategic venture capital investors. This allowed further development of their hardware/software combination solution for chronic respiratory illnesses which improved adherence to treatment. Gecko was acquired by Teva in 2015.

He worked as a Fall Associate at EY's Nairobi office, where he focused on serving foreign clients augmenting investing streams into Kenya.
