David McDonough

Spear’s Review

David McDonough OBE, adviser to UHNWs, high-flying executives and corporations, has been busy expanding his agency, Sanctuary Counsel.

An environment of uncertainty is, he explained, ‘very fertile ground for close trusted advisers – who can help clients read the runes while providing discreet, wise counsel’.

Asked about his personal philosophy and USP, he said: ‘Integrity, intelligence (both emotional and intellectual), insight, accumulated wisdom and experience, a sure touch around the highways and byways of the anatomy of Britain, and a capacity for listening as well as talking.’
