Currently he is consulting in the Mining Services industry. Mr Morgan comes to CAMS with a wide ranging career in strategic negotiations, financial and general management and the progressive management of risk and safety standards.

CAMS President Mr Andrew Papadopoulos stated "In our search for a new CEO, we undertook an exhaustive process to find a candidate who on one hand has the ability to think strategically and implement a strategic plan, whilst on the other hand has the hands-on experience to manage complex projects and most importantly, engage with our 50,000 members, our many honorary officials and our competitors and stakeholders".

"David Morgan brings to CAMS a wealth of experience in dealing with complex and time-critical relationships, project management and problem solving. He is the perfect person to lead the organisation through its next stage of development" said Mr Papadopoulos.
