From David:
“My approach is rooted in the philosophy that business, at its core, benefits from simplicity. Across operations, marketing, strategy, and beyond, the most impressive operations could be understood by a sixth-grader(with a little studying, of course). Leadership should excel at simplifying the complex - transforming chaos into order with ease and efficiency. My commitment to systems and processes creates sustainable success, and creates a culture of getting it done.”
