David Christopher Finch (Fr 1977)
1959 - 2023

The Principal, Council and St Andrew’s College community honour the life of David Finch (Fr 1977) who passed away in February 2023.

David resided at St Andrew’s College from 1977 to 1978 whilst studying a Bachelor Economics (Honours), Law, Government & Industrial Relations at The University of Sydney. During his time at College, he continued his passions of music and classical piano, playing at the 1977 Fresher Concert. 

David went on to build in excess of 20 years of strategy consulting experience in several high growth industries, notably Financial Services, Government, Mining, Engineering, Construction, Property and Telcos coupled with over 15 years consulting on Shared Services, Business Process Outsourcing, Transformation, Outsource and Insource development, Organisation Design and Change, Business Performance improvement, and Performance Reviews and Rebuilds. Of particular note is his work with Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS) including enterprise performance management.

David's brothers Michael (1976) and Steven (Fr 1974) also attended St Andrew's College, along with their nephew Jack Finch (Fr 2010). The Finch family are held strongly in our thoughts and our dearest sympathy is extended to all who knew him. 

A funeral will be held on Friday 10th March, 10:30am, at Northern Suburbs Memorial Gardens & Crematorium East Chapel, 199 Delhi Road North Ryde. All friends of David and the Finch family are invited to attend and celebrate David's life.
