Dave

Meet Dave, the Entrepreneur

En·tre·pre·neur (noun): a person who dreams about changing the future for the better and then organizes and operates a business or businesses, taking on greater than normal personal and financial risks to do so.

An electrical engineer at heart, a former Top 40 disc jockey (ah, now you get the podcast angle), and an entrepreneurial sophophile, Dave has been running businesses and advising company leadership for over 30 years. He's worked in the technology, aviation, manufacturing, and software industries starting new companies, and as executive leadership for others. Like most who dare to try, Dave had his fair share of successes by surrounding himself with smart people.

For example, Dave took one of his companies from a small start-up with two people through a successful international IPO with over 200 employees. But there have also been failures and disappointments along the way, and those are the ones he loves to talk about the most. He says that's where "hurting now helps later." At My Job Here Is Done, Dave explores those experiences along with the trials and tribulations of others he has known over the years - all with the hope that these stories will give you an advantage over your competition.

Today, Dave is a consultant for leadership in growing companies, as he says "that are unafraid to declare themselves the winner." He loves marketing, selling, and doing customer service right, often designing new foundations for success in those areas. He also works with investors and PE firms who need due diligence expe… Read More

Meet Kelli, the Intrapreneur

In·tra·pre·neur (noun): the flip side of an entrepreneur, this is an individual who shares the motivation and drive of an entrepreneur but works for someone else’s business.

As an intrapreneur, Kelli enjoys the freedom to innovate and advocate from within without being confined to the boundaries of a traditional employee. Kelli is a life-long learner and innovator who spent most of her life working in healthcare and education with two driving ambitions—her career and her family. As most can appreciate, that’s a delicate balancing act that Kelli adapted well for her unique situation.

She was always career-driven, respected by leadership, and poised to climb the ladder fast. But that’s not always possible, and in her case, the family needed to come first and did for many years. Although she put her career on hold to raise a wonderful family, she went back to college when the nest was empty to complete her undergraduate degree and went on to earn her MBA while still working full time.

Today, Kelli provides an insider’s view of how executive decisions impact or influence ambitious career-minded professionals within companies. Over the years, Kelli observed the complexities of the business world and developed a greater understanding of how intrapreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs can distinguish themselves and drive valuable change from within. She runs a consulting firm that provides hand-picked expertise to tackle challenging business problems or projects.

What’s fun for Kelli? Cooking, being a certified gym rat, mentoring young people, and … Read More
