ABOUT DAVID SHEPHERD
I\'m an independent AI-first advisor helping high-growth tech companies scale to 7-figure profits or IPO. A lifelong builder, I started coding and creating real-world AI systems before \"AI\" was a buzzword. I\'ve co-founded, scaled, and successfully exited two tech startups—so I get the pressure, the pivots, and the payoff. Today, I work with CEOs, Founders, and CTOs to align technology, product, and business strategy—boosting valuation, attracting investors, and driving profitable exits. With decades leading enterprise AI and CRM initiatives at firms like Allstate, Wells Fargo, and Morgan Stanley, I combine scientific discipline with real-world agility to turn emerging tech into revenue-generating products. You’ll want my expertise if: Your CEO/Founder and Tech Team aren’t fully aligned AI trends are moving faster than your product roadmap Investment or acquisition interest is lagging Development bottlenecks are slowing you down Your tech stack isn’t creating clear competitive advantage You need sharp AI and product growth insight, fast Connect with me for practical scaling tips or reach out directly for a discovery session: s••••••••@gmail.com
