Dave’s media experience translates into clear, confident communication—whether on stage, on camera, or in strategic sessions with leadership teams. He’s built a reputation for making complex topics like AI, digital transformation, and customer engagement both accessible and actionable.
Startup Technologist & Platform Builder
In the last five years, Dave has immersed himself in the startup space, developing and commercialising platforms that leverage artificial intelligence and augmented reality. These tools were built with one goal: to help real businesses do things better, faster, and smarter.
Helping Business Make Sense of AI
Today, Dave works directly with business leaders to demystify AI—cutting through the buzzwords to show what actually works. From strategy to implementation, his focus is on using AI in meaningful, measurable ways.
Dave’s business foundation is solid. He co-founded and scaled Visioncrest from a single optometry practice into a 23-store national franchise, ultimately selling to a multinational. That hands-on experience gives him a commercial lens most speakers lack.
Beyond Business
Outside the day-to-day, Dave has authored a book, built a globally-used website, appeared in How to Save the World for Ten Bucks, trekked through China, and scored a hole-in-one.
