About David Andersen

With over 25 years of experience in business and technology consulting, I help companies achieve their next level of success by leveraging the power of artificial intelligence and digital transformation. As the Canada Region Advisory Executive at Avanade, a leading provider of innovative digital and cloud services, I lead a team of experts who deliver cutting-edge solutions to clients across various industries, from manufacturing and retail to insurance and healthcare.I am also passionate about supporting veterans and helping them transition to the commercial world. As the Advisory Veterans Recruiting Program Lead at Avanade, I recruit talented military veterans into our advisory practice and mentor them to develop their skills and careers. Additionally, I am the founding principal of Q Global Strategies, a boutique consulting firm that provides free assistance to veterans and veteran entrepreneurs. I believe that veterans have a lot to offer to the business world, and I am proud to be a part of their success.

Experience

  1. Canada Advisory, Experiences, and Modern Workplace Executive

    Avanade

    Oct 2025 — Present

    I lead our Advisory & Experiences (AdX) and Modern Workplace teams in helping organizations modernize the way work gets done—from the boardroom to the front line. We start with outcomes: greater efficiency, improved quality, faster response to change, and more engaged, empowered teams. AdX brings tech‑agnostic strategy and experience design to streamline processes, prioritize value, and de‑risk investments; Modern Workplace turns that strategy into action with secure, Microsoft‑powered collaboration, digital workflows, Copilot‑enabled knowledge, and tools that connect people and information seamlessly. Together, we help organizations unlock data, accelerate transformation, and deliver measurable results in a competitive market.
