David sincerely supports Life as an Executive Advisor, Leadership Mentor, and Business Agility Coach, with an overall goal of helping individuals regain line of sight and inspiration for the "organizing causes" they (are trying to) identify with. His personal goal is for Life as "a working adult" to feel as wonderful as it did as an innocent child. The core tactic is a "restoration of curiosity" through a reduction in speculation and personal fear, in favor of the shared pursuit of what truly is known (together). Direct, shared experiences as a Team - a group of people sharing a cognitive space - brings awareness which yields healthy debate, full commitment, and accountability for meaningful Outcomes - those desired experiences of both Customers and Employees.

David combines his own leadership experiences with the collective experiences of people working in various Sectors and Industries of the last 26+ years, which are now taking form as repeatable Frameworks (i.e. Scrum, SAFe, Design-Thinking, etc). He ascended quickly as a Finance Controller in his 20s, helping a Division of 1,500 people recover from certain closure, priming the parent organization for IPO. Lean (re) Start-Up principles and Strategic Hypothesis Validation through fully inclusive tiered decision making brought broad-scale ownership by everyone in that recovery. As an IT Director, David was part of two leadership teams at key inflection points as those private venture start-ups scaled to establish a formal Corporate identity, priming for acquisition in one scenario, and to double (later triple) its scale nationwide in the other scenario. David also served a globally distributed team of 600+ talented people as a VP of Product Development, aiding in their adoption of Scaled Agile Delivery practices and resolving some tough situations in their value-chain. As a consultant, he hopes to greatly expedite a compassionate and meaningful state of existence for working professionals.
