One of the Principality’s most popular figures has died after a long illness, which he bore with great fortitude…

David Cusdin has been described by friends as “a great person and real fun,” with an ever-present smile.

Over a career spanning five decades, he held high-level posts at Barclays, Republic Bank, Safra Bank, HSBC and CMB. He took up his last post after coming out of retirement, which hadn’t suited him.

A close friend told NEWS.MC that David was considered to be Monaco’s record-holder for the biggest distributor of business cards. 

He will be sorely missed by many in the expat community.
