About David McGlynn
I am a Chief of Staff and Executive Business Partner with 20 years of experience supporting C-suite leaders in complex, high-velocity environments across higher education, global corporations, and high-growth startups. My work centers on helping executives operate at their highest level by creating clarity, anticipating needs, connecting the dots across the organization, and ensuring that priorities move forward with discipline and momentum.My core strength is synthesizing complexity—translating vision, strategy, and diverse stakeholder perspectives into structured plans, clear decisions, and actionable workstreams. I am known for exceptional judgment, discretion, and calm under pressure, and for building trusted 1:1 partnerships with leaders navigating demanding portfolios and rapid organizational change.Throughout my career, I have managed executive operating rhythms, complex multi-time-zone schedules, internal and external communications, high-stakes meetings, strategic initiatives, governance processes, and cross-functional alignment efforts. I thrive in environments where thoughtful problem-solving, intellectual curiosity, and operational excellence are essential to enabling senior leaders to show up at their best.My background includes senior leadership roles across the University of Cincinnati (supporting the Provost and Dean of Engineering & Applied Science), global work in London during my time with Subway International, and executive strategy roles in B2B growth companies and award-winning marketing organizations. I have been recognized as a Top 100 Global COO (2025), a leader of a Top 50 Marketing Team (2023), and a Top 50 Global Marketer (2020).Above all, I bring a relational, grounded, and anticipatory approach—staying three steps ahead, listening deeply, communicating with precision, and helping leaders navigate what is essential.
