What CEOs say about Dave

โ โ โ โ โ
“Dave is incredibly empathic and easy to work with. He is able to pinpoint issues quickly and keeps asking the right questions to facilitate arriving at a clear picture of a solution.

Amy VanHaren, CEO of Pumpspotting

“Clarity has brought structure into the often unstructured vision-strategy-story part of the CEO job, that’s too often crowded out by day-to-day-tasks. It’s been my single best investment into coaching—and I have tried a few coaching programs—so I recommend you do this as early as possible!”
Dorian Koch, CEO of MedKitDoc
Raised $7M from Vorwerk Ventures, Picus Capital and others
