David Swanson the former Army Musician on working behind the scenes in politics and public affairs

This week, the podcast focusses on those working behind the scenes of our politics, with Jonny Ball sitting down with David Swanson, a public affairs leader with experience in strategic engagement, advocacy, and influence. David has built a career shaping strategy across complex environments and high-profile stakeholder networks, including in Westminster. David specialises in AI, Technology, Media and Telecoms. He previously worked at Ofcom, where he led government and Parliamentary engagement for the Digital Regulation Cooperation Forum and established Ofcom's Military and Emergency Services Society, having previously served in the British Army. He holds an MSc in political communication, with published research on the changing dynamic of Northern Ireland political campaigning since the Good Friday Agreement.
