About David Levy
David is the primary content manager, editor, and writer here at CompareForexBrokers. He started with us back in 2018 as a freelance writer doing Forex broker reviews. He picked up the intricacies of the Forex industry quickly enough that we brought him on full-time not long after that.
In his current role, David’s main job is making sure everything we publish about brokers is correct. He checks every data point, updates old content, and ensures our pages are readable and engaging to you, our readers. David also plans what we publish and when, coordinating all of the moving parts with the writing team, he also plays a large role in shaping the editorial direction at CompareForexBrokers. In recent times, Dave has placed a big focus on accuracy of information (he checks it himself) as he believes this is something readers value from the website.
David’s background is in IT. He spent time at IBM as a capacity planner, where he made sure systems had enough resources to run properly. After that, he moved to ANZ as a process improvement analyst, finding ways to make operations run better. He also worked at a company that built apps for Salesforce’s CRM platform. While there, he got two Salesforce certifications and qualified as a certified tester. After 15 years, David decided he wanted a career change and to get out of the I.T. industry, which led to him transitioning into content writing, which is how David found himself working for CompareForexBrokers.
Education-wise, David has a Bachelor’s degree in Business Systems from Monash University, covering where business and technology meet. He later picked up a Graduate Certificate in Arts (Media and Communications) from Swinburne University of Technology, plus a Graduate Diploma in Human Resources from Swinburne as well.
When he’s not working, David does both reformer and mat Pilates (says it keeps him balanced, both literally and mentally), loves cooking and experimenting with new recipes, and loves a game of cricket (seriously, try him, he says he has a mean off break). David also travels overseas when he can, usually backpacking and exploring different cultures, his recent trips have included Bali, Thailand and Philippines.
In recent times, Dave has taken up running and just ran his first half marathon (1 hour and 33 minutes) which he is quite chuffed about given his limited preparation. Dave hopes that 2026 will be the year he runs this first marathon. Dave has also just started learning to play bass guitar but has a long long way to go to advance from beginner level. Another new obsession is trying to master the handstand, it been 4 months now and progress is minimal but Dave is determined to succeed.
