His content is drawn from the depth and diversity of 30 years of business and organizational experience as a practicing businessperson, consultant, and adviser to a global client base. His teachings produce “I’ve-never-thought-of-it-that-way” perspectives from leaders across multiple platforms, industries, and environments.
David’s clients include the CEOs, presidents, and CXOs of organizations such as Ferrari, Maersk, Dole, Infosys, Wipro, Aetna, Accenture, Lufthansa, Zenga, and more the world over. He brings to any engagement experience working in and with profit, nonprofit, government, military, and education. His work has spanned diverse industries and fields ranging from but not limited to nanotechnology, aerospace, water and sewage, construction, retail, and logistics.
