His career started in mergers and aquisitions as vice-president of finance for Southam Inc, Canada’s largest newspaper business and in the early1990s M&A as corporate finance manager for KPMG in Toronto, Canada.

Davis is a chartered accountant with both the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Jamaica. He holds a Bachelor’s in business management from Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada.
