Dave Rowland is a Chief Executive Officer at Maine Dog Containment. He possess expertise in finance, small business, data analysis, project management, microsoft excel and 14 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I consider myself to be an expert at Excel, and the people I work with tend to think the same. When I was in business school, classmates spent hundreds of dollars at a charity auction to take an Excel class from me. However, I didn't know much about Excel until a few months before starting business school when I worked with Dave at NERA for a short internship. Those few months were like an intense Excel training school, and Dave was the professor. The formulas, techniques and statistical add-ons that I still use on a regular basis all came from Dave. He was, and is, the master. If it can be done with Excel, he can do it." and "Dave has previously been a supervisor to me for over a decade. In my time spent working for him, he showed a high level of commitment and dedication to developing me as a manager. When I was first promoted to Director of Aquatics I was inexperienced and faced a sharp learning curve. Dave was patient, knowledgeable, and consistent in educating me in: communication skills, organizational skills, effective management techniques, and facility-specific information that allowed me to grow and become much more confident with my skill set. While working as his subordinate in the field of aquatics, I learned: marketing skills, industry strategies, and a progressive attitude that inspired me to create sustainable programming, offer entirely new programs with fresh vibes, and offer the finest in customer service. It was while working for him that I transformed into the well-seasoned, experienced, supervisor that I am today. Dave has a history of recognizing industry need and capitalizing on opportunity that allow him to define himself in the field as a trend-setter. Dave built his company with limited resources available and shaped it into relevant competition to much larger franchises in the business. From acquisition to turnover, Dave always got the details right. The business skills that Dave possesses make him an ideal candidate to acquire small companies, hit the ground running as CEO, and educate future business leaders in running their own small businesses.
