Dave Payne's Linkedin Analytics

"Computers are incredibly fast, accurate and stupid. Human beings are incredibly slow, inaccurate and brilliant. Together they are powerful beyond imagination." Unknown My mission is to unite these two worlds. My journey has taken me from hands-on technical roles to strategic leadership positions, but what remains constant is my passion for bringing the voice of the Customer to the Company and the voice of the Company to the Customer. This front-line, guerrilla approach creates the connective tissue between people, products, and possibilities. After founding a pioneering virtualization practice, navigating multiple startups through growth and acquisition, and leading strategic initiatives at Google, I'm now focused on creating value through targeted advisory work and strategic transactions. I excel at discovering customer problems, architecting product-market fit, and evangelizing solutions that matter. I speak both geek and human, translating complex technical concepts into language that resonates with decision-makers. Having successfully led business initiatives across North & South America, Austrailia, Europe, Middle East and Asia, I bring a global perspective and proven ability to adapt quickly to new markets and cultures. Looking to connect with purpose-driven entrepreneurs, strategic investors, and organizations navigating significant transitions who value authentic partnership and practical wisdom.
