About Shashwat Davé
Obsessed with why very smart people make ridiculously stupid (ahem, irrational) decisions, I am on a quest to instill better decision quality in Boardrooms and Executive Suites. Known for: Building consensus across continents, countries, and cultures, I navigate boardrooms, executive suites, and operational silos for all sorts of companies (from scrappy startups to Fortune 100 giants, and even non-profits).Hypothesis Testing: I turn ideas into reality in under 3 months, even in organizations stuck in molasses. How? Think like a scientist. Test multiple hypotheses. And learn with incremental effort in low-stakes environments.My goal: Speak truth to Executives. Challenge biases. Check massive egos. And help those at all levels of large organizations make sound (disciplined) decisions in the fog of uncertainty.
