About Joseph D.

With a proven track record in financial and regulatory technology, public engagement, and entertainment, my primary focus is on opportunistic investments in emerging industries. Leading an outsourced managed service, infrastructure, and strategic advisory provider for the cannabis sector, I am dedicated to driving impactful change through sustainable practices, community engagement, and creative solutions. At Davidsohn Global Technologies, I launched Reguliant, a regulatory compliance workflow platform. I spearheaded lobbying on Dodd-Frank, collaborating with elected officials to create the Office of Financial Research within the US Treasury. I expanded our network through partnerships with tech giants like IBM, HP, Oracle, Microsoft, and Apple, contributing to a 300% revenue increase. Our clients included Morgan Stanley, Merrill Pro/BAML, and Cantor Fitzgerald. I founded Davidsohn & Co. in entertainment, booking iconic performers like James Brown and Katy Perry, producing immersive corporate events, and creating exclusive experiences with sports legends and film stars. I have produced unique events like dinner and a show starring Barry Manilow, featuring the culinary creations of Jacques Pepin, and events where guests can sing with the Billy Joel Band. I love exploring global cuisine, practicing yoga, and celebrating cultural diversity. My charitable efforts focus on supporting widows and orphans of military service and law enforcement, child literacy, The Actors Fund, and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
