David is a CFO and finance operator who works closely with founders, leadership teams, and investors to help high-growth companies scale efficiently and make better decisions with their numbers. He brings deep experience across FP&A, capital raising, M&A, revenue recognition, and investor reporting, with a track record of turning complex financial data into clear narratives that drive confident decision-making.

He has led finance from sub-$5M to $150M in ARR, built finance teams from zero, and supported fundraises from Seed through Series D. He knows what good looks like at each stage and how to build toward it without over-engineering for where you are today. David’s approach is hands-on and pragmatic. He gets into the details, cleans up what needs to be cleaned up, and builds processes that stick. He excels at turning complex financial data into clear narratives that align teams and support confident decision-making, and uses AI to automate the repetitive work so the team spends more time on analysis and less time building spreadsheets.

What sets David apart is his ability to connect finance to the rest of the business. He works closely with marketing, sales, product, and engineering to make sure everyone understands the metrics, why they matter, and how to move them. When cross-functional teams take ownership of the numbers, that’s when companies really scale.
