David B. McGinty

Global Director of Platform for Accelerating the Circular Economy (PACE)

David manages the fast-growing Secretariat team in The Hague. Previously, he has led public-private partnerships for an international NGO, been head of a private sector development and impact investing advisory firm, and taught management and law at the graduate level.

David holds a Master of Law (LLM) degree from Villanova University and Juris Doctorate from Temple University. He spends his time outside of PACE as an angel investor, non-profit board member and an avid supporter of the arts. He is married and the father of two children.

PACE was created in 2018 by the World Economic Forum and is now hosted by the World Resources Institute (WRI). PACE is facilitated by a full-time team in The Hague. PACE was created to connect leaders who are committed to creating a circular economy. It catalyses leadership from CEOs, government ministers and the heads of civil society organisations who have a clear vision and the power to make things happen.
