Before and alongside academia, David developed professional experience in auditing, financial analysis, and the energy sector, including roles at Ernst & Young, ExxonMobil, and Majlis Energy Ltd.

Dr Ririmasse's research focuses on climate change and energy sectors and its impacts across developed and emerging markets. His research accomplishments have been recognized with awards such as the 2nd Best Paper Award at the BAFA South East Area Group in 2021 and the Best Paper Award at the 24th Annual Conference on Finance and Accounting in 2023 in Prague. These achievements have led to the submission of his PhD research manuscripts to top academic journals, including Emerging Markets Finance and Trade, International Journal of Finance & Economics and Journal of Accounting, Auditing and Finance.

Alongside his academic research, he is also involved in applied, place-based impact work. This includes collaboration with external organisations on projects that support impact evaluation, reporting, and community engagement. His work reflects a broader interest in producing research that is both academically rigorous and practically useful to organisations and stakeholders.
