Hi, I’m Dave.
I’m a creative leader who believes good leadership is being in tune with a company, it’s people, and the world. My career spans over 20 years leading product, marketing and technology teams at Square, Microsoft, Amazon, Edelman, MKG and Etsy. Prior to that I founded the creative agency, Holiday Matinee, started a record label, wrote a book on creative inspiration, toured the world with bands and made a few investments in community and startup ventures. I'm good at building awesome teams that serve people and grow businesses. I’m also a big fan of NY bagels, spreading kindness and being a dad.
I put a heavy emphasis on empathy in my life and in my work, because everyone deserves to feel safe and heard - it’s not only human but a formula that results in successful teams, products and organizations.
Give a shout if you’re looking for an investor in people, a curator of ideas, and a believer in building products that dare to make the world a more exciting place.
