Over his career, Dave held increasingly responsible financial management positions including accounting and financial analyst roles at IBM and Digital Equipment Corporation, FP&A Manager at Wyse Technology, and Chief Financial Officer at an early-stage navigation technology company.  He holds a bachelor of science degree in finance and international business from the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania
