About David Bloom

Most scaling companies pay a \"hidden tax\" of 40% in lost productive capacity. They have the talent, but their startup habits have become scaleup blocks.I help Fortune 500 and PE-backed leaders bridge the gap between the \"engine room\" and the boardroom. My focus is on turning uncoordinated execution into commercial impact by teaching non-technical executives how to be high-impact partners to R&D, and teaching R&D how to operate with the discipline required at scale.If navigating this transition were easy, everyone would do it. It is hard. I provide the systems, audits, and leadership required to make it work.The Track RecordOver the last 20 years, I have operated at the intersection of product and profit, managing $100M+ P & Ls and leading teams of 100+ to deliver off-the-charts employee and customer satisfaction.Key Scale-up Milestones- Successful Exits: Member of leadership teams that successfully exited twice through IPO and acquisition- Market Innovation: Recognized by Business Insider (100 Most Innovative Leaders) and Entrepreneur Magazine (Top 100 Innovative Companies)- Commercial Impact: Closed 8-figure sales deals and raised venture funding to fuel aggressive growth.Specific Outcomes DeliveredI specialize in identifying the \"Rich Man’s Problems\" that stall growth- Revenue Growth: Rapidly identifying new opportunities for growth where others see technical blockers- Operational Precision: Assessing and remedying the \"billion-dollar whiplash\" from uncoordinated roadmaps to messy Jira data- Organizational Optimization: Rebuilding teams to move with both product innovation and revenue impact.Reach me at d••••@bloominsights.me
