About David S.

Strategic, hands-on executive with a proven track record of transforming complexity into clarity across high-growth, mission-driven organizations. With deep experience as a CEO, General Manager, CFO, and COO, I bring full-spectrum leadership—spanning finance, operations, and strategy—while thriving in the grey areas where innovation and execution intersect. I’m a builder at heart: of systems, teams, and businesses. I’ve rebuilt companies from the ground up, created tools that brought visibility and clarity to data, led cultural transformations, and driven operational turnarounds. Equally comfortable in the boardroom or on the floor, I partner cross-functionally to deliver data-driven insights, profitable growth, and cultural alignment. Above all, I lead with curiosity, conviction, and a clear sense of purpose. Dedicated executive working globally with senior management for 15+ years. Demonstrated strengths in helping companies make sense of their numbers; passionate about educating and sharing the story with the rest of the organization. Strong believer in Finance’s ability to positively contribute to the “bottom line” through a customer-focused culture, cross-functional cooperation, and accurate/timely financial information. Thrive in ever-changing environments where quickly translating complex problems into action is a must. Resourceful with a history of harnessing big data and the right technology solutions to eliminate redundancy and generate actionable data. Curiosity and a hands-on nature fuel an understanding of transactions/forces driving the business. Driven by a strong moral compass valuing honest discussion and transparency over politics. Certifications: Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Certified Managerial Accountant (CMA), Certified Financial Manager (CFM), Certified Internal Auditor (CIA). Business Expertise: Financial Operations Management, Change Management, Strategic Planning, Team Leadership, Process Improvement, Risk Management, Cost Reduction, Project Management, Audits, International Business, Business Partnerships, Financial Analysis & Reporting (FP & A), Business Strategy, SAP, Private Equity PE.
