About Dave
I’m a 15+ year technology professional who operates at the intersection of platforms, process, and people to accelerate business transformation. My career has centered on deploying emerging technologies to unlock measurable revenue growth and operational efficiency. From building vertical-specific product strategies at Amazon to driving cross-functional partnership alignment at Microsoft and Google, I’ve led initiatives that blend technical innovation with strategic execution. Known for connecting engineering, legal, business development, and sales teams around shared goals, I deliver outcomes that scale—transforming go-to-market velocity, optimizing partnerships, and expanding customer impact globally.
Why do I coach?
I coach because strong mentorship has contributed significantly to my career growth. Having a sit down with a third-party seems to provide more clarity and I want to be a resource to people who will benefit from these conversations.
