Book Speaker

David Herle really understands the Canadian consumer. As a principal partner with The Gandalf Group, Herle is one of the brains behind the quarterly Consumerology report, created for the advertising agency Bensimon Byrne. The report looks at the big trends impacting society and learns how they will affect consumer behavior and attitudes. Through its findings, a pattern has emerged, which categorizes Canadians into three demographic groups—Runners, Walkers, and Spectators. Herle is determined to help industries and consumers alike recognize these groups—their strengths, and pitfalls—in order to keep Canada's economy healthy and moving in the right direction.

Through The Gandalf Group, David Herle conducts the quarterly C Suite Survey featured in the Report on Business and Business News Network. It analyzes the views of Canada's corporate leaders on challenges facing the economy and society.

Herle is a frequent commentator about politics on the CBC National News, CBC News Network, and in major Canadian newspapers. He was also the national campaign chair for the Liberal Party in the 2004 and 2006 general elections as well as for the Leadership campaign of the Right Honourable Paul Martin in 2003. Herle received his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Regina, majoring in social sciences. He was called to the Bar in Ontario after receiving his LLB from the University of Saskatchewan.
