David Viles

Partner, Deloitte Risk Advisory

David Viles began his career at Arthur Andersen in London. After the demise of Andersen, David joined Deloitte and was a senior partner in Deloitte’s risk practice, and the firm’s own Chief Risk Officer, before joining BP.  David was involved at the heart of figuring out what happened and implementing solutions following the world’s most scrutinised corporate crisis – the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

His analysis and insights into the underlying causes of issues and crises have created a different perspective for his clients; to focus on prevention and not just preparing for when they do happen – by avoiding the incidents, and managing the issues, that can destroy value and reputation.
