Following the appointment of the firm’s newly created Group Marketing and Brand Director in 2019, QinetiQ’s leadership team once again partnered with David Price at tml Partners to lead a search for a refined Group Head of Digital Marketing, reporting directly into the CEO’s office to support with the firm’s ongoing digital transformation across both internal and external online channels.
The brief was to source a digital leader who understood the complexities of a global complex matrix-led organisation undergoing a wholesale digital transformation, a firm growing overseas in international markets, particularly the America’s, and who could lead a digital re-imagining of the firm’s internal engagement platforms and digital connectivity alongside the firm’s external digital footprint.
After a comprehensive search and selection process, David Goff was appointed as the firm’s Group Head of Digital Marketing and Digital Communications, based between both the firm’s London office in Pal Mall and the firm’s global HQ in Farnborough.
David joins QinetiQ from global technology, construction and infrastructure consultancy ISG Plc, where he spent four years as the group’s Head of Digital. He is a high performing digital marketeer and change leader, having previously led a digital transformation for defence contractor Rolls-Royce Plc, before running the EMEA digital ecosystem for global engineering and critical infrastructure firm AECOM.
