Before "automation" was a word anyone used, Dave was moving data and money inside Microsoft. He didn't read that most AI problems are data problems. He learned it by living inside one of the world's most data-driven companies when that still meant something.
He built CMS systems for colleges and small businesses before WordPress was a thought. Then founded Vinasource (USTA, NCAA, MTV, Microsoft) and co-founded TINYpulse, raising $9.5M led by Baseline Ventures, the #2 investor in the world at the time, before its acquisition by WebMD.
He also coached nationally ranked tennis players. He knows what it takes to compete at the top, bringing that same standard to every engagement. He founded EO Vietnam, served as SE Asia Area Director, and sits on EO's Global Tech Committee, overseeing the tools that run chapter management worldwide.
Working with leaders to turn AI into results
"The CMS is dead.
AI is the shooter."

Most organizations are spending on AI and getting zero return, not because the technology fails, but because their leaders were never trained to lead with it. Dave fixes that.

Two books. The Four Offices of the Future connects outcomes to AI across every business function. The Other 50% reframes what leadership means when half of it is human and half is AI.

The Four Offices of the Future
A diagnostic lens that connects outcomes to AI. Most organizations are spending on AI with no clear line to results. This framework shows exactly where AI creates leverage across the four core functions of any business.

Leadership has changed. 50% is human, 50% is AI. The leaders who win the next decade are not the ones who adopt AI fastest. They are the ones who know how to lead with it.

the gap?
In five years, there will be two kinds of leaders: those who learned to lead with AI, and those who got replaced by someone who did.
