About David White

I build the systems technology businesses run on — combining product strategy, operational rigor, and AI-native execution to drive growth, efficiency, and long-term enterprise value.Over 25+ years, I\'ve led product, operational, and business transformations across companies at different stages — from large-scale platform businesses at Yahoo to growth-stage marketplace and SaaS organizations — consistently focused on diagnosing what\'s missing, building the infrastructure to address it, and accelerating from there.I typically partner with leadership teams to- Strengthen operating discipline while accelerating growth and execution speed- Expand product and revenue models to unlock new growth and market opportunities- Navigate periods of transition, including strategic repositioning, financing, and exit preparationA consistent part of my work has been building the operating frameworks that connect strategy to execution — establishing the metrics foundations, planning cadences, and performance management systems that give leadership teams real visibility into how the business is performing and why.Most recently, I\'ve focused on AI as a core operating capability — not as a feature layer, but as a fundamental redesign of how product work gets done. I\'ve built an end-to-end AI-native product development system spanning the full product lifecycle — compressing what traditionally requires cross-functional teams into a highly leveraged, capital-efficient model that produces fully functional enterprise product experiences at production fidelity.I\'m drawn to situations where product strategy, operational rigor, and AI integration can combine to create durable competitive advantage — as CPO, COO, General Manager, or Operating Partner.
