Before Colibrí, before Medellín, Dave Pandit spent two decades at the sharp end of technology delivery. Head of IT Operations at Circle Health. IT Director at UME Diagnostics. Head of PMO at Virgin Care — a £1.3 billion NHS-contracted healthcare provider — where he led a £21 million project portfolio and turned around a failing £9 million Oracle Cloud Fusion programme within 90 days.
The common thread across every role was not the technology. It was the people — finding the right ones, building the right conditions for them to deliver, and staying accountable when things went wrong. By the time Dave joined MVW Technology as Head of Global Delivery in late 2020, that instinct had become a methodology.
At MVW, he built and scaled a global delivery team from the ground up — a project portfolio delivering complex cloud migrations, data migrations, security infrastructure programmes, intranets and custom technology solutions serving clients across Finance, Private Equity, Real Estate and Healthcare. He designed the PPM framework and delivery methodologies. He led the organisation to ISO 27001, 9001, and 14001 certification.
It was at MVW that the idea took shape — not as an abstract ambition, but as a direct response to what he saw the established global recruiters getting consistently wrong.
