Meet Dave, the Entrepreneur

En·tre·pre·neur (noun): a person who dreams about changing the future for the better and then organizes and operates a business or businesses, taking on greater than normal personal and financial risks to do so.

An electrical engineer at heart, a former Top 40 disc jockey (ah, now you get the podcast angle), and an entrepreneurial sophophile, Dave has been running businesses and advising company leadership for over 30 years. He's worked in the technology, aviation, manufacturing, and software industries starting new companies, and as executive leadership for others. Like most who dare to try, Dave had his fair share of successes by surrounding himself with smart people.

For example, Dave took one of his companies from a small start-up with two people through a successful international IPO with over 200 employees. But there have also been failures and disappointments along the way, and those are the ones he loves to talk about the most. He says that's where "hurting now helps later." At My Job Here Is Done, Dave explores those experiences along with the trials and tribulations of others he has known over the years - all with the hope that these stories will give you an advantage over your competition.

Today, Dave is a consultant for leadership in growing companies, as he says "that are unafraid to declare themselves the winner." He loves marketing, selling, and doing customer service right, often designing new foundations for success in those areas. He also works with investors and PE firms who need due diligence expertise for M&A activity, or interim leadership to help right a listing ship.

What's fun for Dave? He's a pilot, a newly minted health geek, Australian shepherd lover, and foodie.
