David Banks is Managing Partner at Carlyle Banks & Co. Ltd., a private equity and investment banking firm based in the United Kingdom. Mr. Banks has over 40 years of experience in investment banking, private equity and film production, having worked in New York, Hong Kong, Tokyo, London and Toronto. During his career, he was a Senior Vice President at the Chase Manhattan Bank, President of the Financial Services Group at the Continental Grain Company, Finance Director at General Atlantic Group, CEO of AT&T Capital and Executive Chair at Newcourt Credit Group. He has headed the non-profit Boards of the National Ballet of Canada, The International Center of Photography, the Kenyon Review and the National Corporate Fund for the Dance.
