Mentorship
Mentorship Services
Are you in search of senior management, marketing and/or sales experience within technology, media, or adjacent industries?
While coaching is certainly my focus these days, I still offer mentorship as a way to help clients who facing new challenges or stuck on how to move forward.
My history working as a VP of Marketing and Sales within multiple startups gives new directors, VPS, and C-Suite leaders an advantage over going it alone.
I mentor with the intention of leaving you soon. I teach you to fish rather than creating a dependency.

Leadership Transition
Congratulations on your recent promotion or change of role. This is an exciting time for you, but it can also be stressful to navigate the new environment.
I have mentored many Directors, VPs, and C-suite leaders on how to find the right pace and perspective of their new role. It can be lonely at the top, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Let’s have a conversation about how a mentorship program might help you get on your feet and find more ease in your new role.
Product Development
Product Marketing
Marketing needs to be part of product development from day 1. You will make thousands of decisions as you create a product and it is essential to have the customer and market represented in those decisions.
If your development team is in need of a customer-focused development approach or having a tough time embracing the market realities, a mentorship program can be a great way to reduce risk and time to market.
Startup Challenges
When tackling a new market, there can be a lot of uncertainty and hesitation about how to attract new customers. I’ve spent many years mentoring both teams and individuals on go-to-market strategies, measuring results, and brainstorming new solutions.
I have also helped mentor companies to hire the right marketing leader as a way of implementing these strategies.

“Dave astutely managed incredible growth in starting up Ableton’s US office, but more important to me was forming the foundations for my career under his tutelage. He’s also the first person to look to for advice on any subject, from business to jazz drumming.”
