Visit carpesearch.com to see a summary of recent talent work, or tugatech.co to see a sample busfactor product. Prior to whatever he's doing now, whatever that is, Dave was the Head of Product and Engineering Leadership (talent) at SignalFire. Earlier, he was the last Partner at ReedShay. After years working exclusively with Robin Reed, he ran ReedShay for 7 years following her retirement from search. He joined her after many years with Microsoft consulting to the Office of the CTO and a few other teams that you'll only find inside these mega-enormous companies. Dave is an expert at applying competitive intelligence (“CI”) and technology insights to search strategies and has done this for global leaders like McKinsey, Microsoft, and the Gates Foundation, brands like TiVo, CREDO, and comScore, and countless startups. Back when his hairline was excelente, he founded a VC-backed software startup, was a volunteer teacher with NFTE, worked on the trading floor at Fidelity Capital Markets, and was a Research Associate at Fidelity Capital. He graduated with a BFA (stone sculpture) from George Washington University and an MBA in EPS/Finance from Babson College. He’s also been rescuing dogs for as long as he can remember, paints, still tries to skateboard, and can not sing and play guitar at the same time. On topics of talent, CI, and research, he's provided expert commentary to many pubs ranging from Fortune, WSJ and the Boston Globe to Wired, CFO and the Sunday NY Times. He was also a longtime corner columnist for CI Magazine. Dave served on the advisory boards of Frrole (AI), JigSaw (Salesforce.com) and Conditor, LLC (Nick from WeFunder, back in school!), and currently advises Terrain Analytics (a Signalfire spinout), ApolloFactor (workforce analytics) and Hirize (HR tech/API), and now, a handful of Portugués founders via busfactor.
