Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Thorne is a coach and former senior technical leader with 13+ years of experience helping thoughtful business owners simplify and sustain their ventures. He transitioned from nearly two decades in hands-on technical and leadership roles—specialising in backend PHP and Drupal development, Symfony and Laravel, plus CI/devops—to founding and running consultancy and coaching practices. As Master Coach and founder of DWT Coaching and The Stigma Coach, he blends lived experience of running companies with a deep empathy for burnout, neurodiversity, and the mental load of ownership. Clients value his pragmatic knack for stripping complexity back to what actually matters, so decisions feel clearer and business fits life again. Notably, his coaching is informed by real technical and operational experience rather than theory, giving him credibility with owners of product- and service-led businesses. Based in Waverley, England, he offers calm, practical guidance that helps capable people fall back in love with their work.
