His educational background includes a Business Marketing Diploma and a Business Marketing Degree from James Cook University for good measure.

I need to write more content on Davidiwanow.com which is my main site but also can be found writing for several industry blogs when I get a good topic and some headspace to write a decent post. I also love promoting conferences and events and did a number of interviews with industry leaders in the past. After leaving Melbourne in 2013 I spent almost 3 years in Amsterdam working for Marktplaats which was part of ebay classifieds group and 2dehands.be and 2ememain.be which is the largest free classifieds site in Belgium. I spent a few years in London working at a SEO agency BlueGlass but needed more of a challenge so moved to Schibsted as SEO Manager for Global Deployments where I was promoted to Global SEO Manager looking after SEO & ASO across 22 leading classified websites. In 2019 I made a decision to return to The Netherlands with Danone as their Global Search & Traffic manager looking after their 379 digital properties. During Covid in 2021 I had the opportunity to move to Reckitt as Head of Search where I’m currently based looking after both paid and organic strategy for 800+ websites for brands such as Dettol, Lysol, Durex, Finish, Vanish, Nurofen, Gaviscon, Enfamil, Strepsils & Dobendan.
