About David I Livingstone

With over 12 years of experience and a Master of Engineering (ME) in Computer Science from Anna University Chennai, I’m currently driving product strategy and growth as the IT Products & Business Development Manager. In this role, I guide the vision and roadmap for BION AI—our flagship AI platform—defining features, coordinating cross‑functional teams, and ensuring every release aligns with stakeholder needs. I leverage deep expertise in Agile and traditional SDLC methodologies to streamline development cycles and deliver robust, scalable solutions. I also spearhead business development across the UK and Europe, uncovering opportunities in cloud services, cybersecurity, application development, and HR/payroll solutions, and forging partnerships that accelerate market entry and revenue growth. I oversee a high‑performing recruitment team that partners with a full spectrum of federal agencies—DoD, NASA, DoS, FAA, DoL, NRC—and industry leaders such as Raytheon and Lockheed Martin to staff positions at all clearance levels: Secret, Top Secret, TS/SCI, TS/SCI CI Poly, and TS/SCI FS Poly. As Account Manager, I also managed key recruitment accounts for NATO, General Electric, and a variety of commercial clients, ensuring tailored talent solutions that met each organization’s unique requirements. I guide team strategy for full‑cycle recruiting, talent pipelining, and workforce planning, collaborating closely with COOs, PMs, and directors to align hiring with our evolving product and service roadmap.Passionate about technology, innovation, and people, I thrive in dynamic environments where I can blend product leadership with go‑to‑market execution—steering complex initiatives from concept to launch while maintaining the agility to pivot as market demands evolve.
