David has had a very successful career as a consultant in the U.S. and globally. Over many years with Ernst & Young, he has held leadership roles in technology and other consulting practices. In the 1990’s David held leadership positions for EY in Europe, setting strategy and managing European and global consulting businesses. By 1999 the practices he led had grown to the point that his oversight responsibilities covered over $400 million of annual consulting revenues. After EY sold its consulting businesses to Cap Gemini of France, David returned to the US and led a number of businesses for the merged firm. David has defined, sold, and delivered consulting work in industries ranging from medical devices and pharmaceuticals to food manufacturing, airlines, and general manufacturing. He did important work in developing early computer and network security protocols and remains active in that arena. His own consulting work, typically consisting of a combination of strategy and technology, has often been engaged directly by the client CEO and involved close collaboration with client boards.
