He has extensive experience working on software development and strategy, he has overseen a wide range of small and large scale projects including mobile applications, web applications, B2B and B2C products, immersive professional development travel retreats and events, communications, and web design.

Prior to starting YourCTO, David conceptualized, created and served as executive producer of a reality television show in India and Pakistan that featured young entrepreneurs pitching startup business ideas to a cross-border panel of investors. As part of this effort, he successfully raised funding, recruited talent, built a trilateral partnership, and negotiated broadcast deals with CNBC India, India’s most viewed English language business network, and GEO TV, Pakistan’s then-leading cable entertainment network.
From 2009-2014, David served as the Director of the Young Atlanticist (now called the Millennium Fellowship Program) program at the Atlantic Council, a foreign policy think tank – where he was named the youngest Director in the Council’s 50+ year history. In that role he raised over $3.5 million in seed funding from government, foundation, corporate, and individual donors, and launched a diverse variety of professional development oriented travel experiences and events around the world. In doing so, he worked with strategic partners including the US State Department, the European Union, NATO, the Robert Bosch Stiftung, the Allianz Foundation of North America, and many others.
Prior to joining the Council David worked as the Communications Director on five political campaigns, including work on statewide electoral races in two key battleground states. His last position in electoral politics was working in political outreach at the 2008 Presidential Inaugural Committee, which oversaw the first inauguration of President Barack Obama.
