David Thornley is a commercial leader with over 20 years’ senior level experience driving growth across distribution, manufacturing, retail, and technology. Having worked with global brands including Apple, Tesco, Vodafone, and Carrefour, he brings a practical, real-world understanding of how complex supply chains operate — and where ESG pressure is now reshaping decision-making.

Now Commercial Director at Etoso, an ESG data intelligence platform, David focuses on how organisations can improve visibility, trust, and accountability across their supply chains using better data. His work centres on helping businesses move beyond compliance to make ESG a practical, data-driven part of supplier selection, risk management, and operational strategy.

With a background spanning both commercial leadership and technology, David offers a grounded perspective on how ESG and supply chain realities intersect — and how companies can turn increasing scrutiny into a competitive advantage.
