About David McClendon

As an experienced IT Director with 5+ years of progressive leadership, I drive strategic digital transformation and secure technology operations for mission-focused organizations. Currently leading IT at Cincinnati-Hamilton County Community Action Agency, I’ve overseen major system upgrades, cloud migrations, and cybersecurity enhancements that align with business goals and improve client outcomes.My leadership philosophy centers around simplicity, security, and scalability. I’ve led Microsoft 365 migrations, automated onboarding/offboarding via Power Automate and ADP, and developed policies that strengthened our data privacy posture while reducing user friction. These initiatives have delivered measurable cost savings and operational efficiency across departments.Outside the office, I serve as Head Baseball Coach at Winton Woods High School—an experience that sharpens my ability to build high-performing teams, foster collaboration, and lead under pressure.
