To this task he brought a varied background in business, law and banking.

He currently focuses primarily on healthcare investing and chairs the management company and funds' investment committees. In April 2005, David was appointed non-executive Chairman of Humana, Inc. (NYSE: HUM). He has served on Humana's Board of Directors since 1993, and was non-executive Vice Chairman from 1996 to April 2005.
