Director
David Milroy is the Managing Director of Pure Power and an international entrepreneur with 25 years of executive leadership experience at high-profile global technology companies in Asia, Europe and North America.
Milroy has made a career of converting large, industrial ideas into practical realities. As an executive at Global Crossing in the 1990s, he led groundbreaking projects like the worldwide installation of the world’s first subsea, fiber-optic infrastructure.
Milroy’s arrival on the green-tech scene comes at a time when corporations and policymakers are keen to find new ways to meet sustainability objectives, and wean economies off of oil. “The products all around us are all produced from petroleum,” David says, citing a range of regularly-used goods like plastics, athletic shoes and computer keyboards. “I want to bring new sustainability potential to untouched markets.”
Prior to Pure Power, in the early 2000s, David was President of Asia Global Crossing’s Asia-Pacific division, and Senior Vice President, Network and Operations, of the company’s Hong Kong and Singapore arm. He was responsible for the development, deployment, implementation and operations of East Asia Crossing, a $2.5 billion fiber-optic submarine cable system that connected seven countries in the region. He also supported an IPO roadshow for the company, which led to the raising of nearly $500 million.
Milroy has also held a number of executive-level positions across the telecommunications industry, including at Global Crossing Ltd., KPN International N.V., Unisource Satellite Services and Telstra Corporation.
Milroy received his Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing and Finance from the University of New South Wales, Australia. |
