Hello, I’m David.
Design Research | Customer Experience Innovation | Mentor & Coach
I've generated millions in realized revenue for Walmart and The Home Depot through 10 years of mixed-methods research that transforms business strategy and roadmaps. Most recently, I led research for Walmart Data Ventures, a B2B SaaS platform designed to empower Walmart's top 300 suppliers to optimize their retail strategies. I’ve scaled research operations to a 6-person distributed organization, launched internal mentorship programs, and delivered hands-on coaching to develop researchers across collaboration, facilitation, and research methodologies.
I bring experience across retail, data analytics, supply chain, telecommunications, and healthcare, consistently delivering insights that drive outcomes and create tangible business value.
