About David Kearns
I\'m a senior strategy leader with 20+ years of experience advising Fortune 500 retailers, global consumer brands, and market-leading companies. I specialize in developing bold, insight-driven growth strategies across pricing, market expansion, merchandising, store operations, and innovation, backed by deep expertise in consumer behavior and omnichannel transformation.At Deloitte, I’ve led high-impact teams across 30+ client engagements, delivering meaningful growth for my clients. I have been a key architect in developing a unique analytics capability that leverages emerging data to deliver more precise, insight-driven solutions, which we built into a successful micro-business within the firm. My work is built on a foundation of data fluency, C-suite collaboration, and a relentless focus on unlocking future growth for retailers and consumer products companies.Whether I’m guiding a five-year real estate strategy, optimizing pricing architecture across global markets, or identifying the next big product innovation, I thrive at the intersection of consumer insight and commercial impact.Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my wife and three children at home playing with our dogs. I\'m a fanatical college sports fan (go Heels!), and enjoy reading when I have a quiet moment - which are quite rare these days.The views expressed here are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect the view of my current, former, or future employers.
