“Dave is a highly intelligent driven executive. He calls it like it is and delivers results.” – Frank Riddick, former CFO Armstrong World Industries I joined Edifice Analytics to commercialize new technology developed at Case Western Reserve University funded by a grant from ARPA-E to revolutionize virtual commercial building energy audits. I founded Custom Within Reach™ from VISTA FINISHING to fill a gap in kitchen cabinet industry. With Custom Within Reach™ you can create incredible kitchens for less than the cost of semi-custom or custom cabinetry. I am also a manufacturing industry consultant with a passion for transforming organizations. Since earning my MBA at the Kellogg School of Management, I have been dedicated to strategically fixing, building, and helping companies grow. I have a reputation for increasing profitability through my expertise in developing and executing repositioning strategies.I launched my career at CORPORATE DECISIONS INC (CDI) as a management consultant helping Fortune 500 companies and private equity clients develop powerful growth strategies. I then joined ARMSTRONG WORLD INDUSTRIES where I learned the ins and outs of the industry working in a variety of departments including Finance, Sales, Marketing, and ultimately promoted to President & CEO of ARMSTRONG CABINETS. In this role, I led an under-performing business unit to financial success, beating profit targets by 40%. I spent the next eight years with REGENCY WINDOW CO, where I led their evolution and rebranding from “Low-Price Leader” into “Responsible Trusted Partner” and launched a highly profitable new line of business. After this, I founded my own company, PROMARK CABINETS, growing revenue by 300% before selling the business four years later. Since then, I have been helping a series of companies rebound and rebuild, for example:► Delivered a 40% spike in sales in less than a year by introducing new products and deploying a CRM system at KABINART CABINETRY► Tripled EBITDA in 1 year by designing and executing a comprehensive turnaround strategy that improved product quality, launched new products, and expanded markets at WELLBORN FOREST PRODUCTS, INC► Grew revenue over 300% by implementing a first-to-market product line and a content-driven online marketing campaign at NORTH STAR BUILDING PRODUCTS, LLC
