David is an established global technology and supply chain leader with an illustrious career encompassing diverse roles, transforming businesses, and scaling operations. He is an industry veteran who has held several executive-level positions, consistently driving growth and value across global markets. In his capacity as the Executive Vice President at Cybage, David elevates our sales endeavors to new heights, exploring new markets and positioning Cybage as a formidable player in the global arena. Having previously served as a member of the Advisory Board at Cybage, he continues to forge strategic partnerships, leveraging his stellar leadership and industry acumen.

He began his career with Oracle, contributing significantly to the company's dominant position in the database market and the expansion of its applications business in the United States and worldwide. In subsequent years, David continued to take on leadership roles within various global organizations, including Chief Revenue Officer (ReverseLogix), Vice President and GM, APAC (Navis), and EVP Supply Chain Business Area and Head (Körber).

Consequently, his connection with Cybage began, and over time, this association evolved into a trusted global partnership, leading to Cybage being named HighJump's (now Körber) "Global SI Partner of the World." David played a pivotal role in the phenomenal growth of the Cybage - HighJump (now Körber) partnership as it flourished in the US, Asia, and Europe regions. 

David spearheaded the acquisition of Otimis in Brazil, a strategic maneuver that proved immensely successful, showcasing yet another illustration of his enduring and profound global connections. By deploying his "few-to-many model," he helped the business flourish into markets that would not have been possible without the correct balance of partners and direct FTEs. The model's impact helped HighJump (now Körber) become an industry leader, ultimately becoming a multi-billion Euro world-class supply chain organization. 

He is also a distinguished member of the "Pro-to-Know" community in the supply chain industry, an honor bestowed upon him by his fellow professionals. As an accomplished author and thought leader, he continues to share his valuable insights on LinkedIn. When at home in North Carolina, David serves as a guest lecturer to MBA students at his alma mater (Appalachian State University) on supply chain, analytics, and more. David and his wife Pam are avid outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy biking, hiking, and of course, traveling the world.
