9+ years building enterprise programs from scratch, owning complex B2B relationships with Nike, Estée Lauder & Tiffany & Co., and scaling revenue across direct and retail channels. First U.S. hire at xTool. Former Tesla.
I'm David, a sales and growth leader based in the Bay Area, and I do my best work in ambiguous, fast-moving environments. Whether I'm building a first U.S. office from scratch, managing a portfolio of global enterprise accounts, or training retail teams on the showroom floor, I love bringing structure to the chaos and turning it into wins we can repeat.
My career runs from Tesla, where I was a top regional performer bringing in over $4M in revenue each quarter, to xTool, where I was the company's very first U.S. employee. Along the way I've led go-to-market launches, localized global campaigns, and built lasting partnerships with some of the most iconic brands in the world.
Outside of work, I'm pretty serious about the gym and staying healthy. I also love good music and wandering through museums, and I've been playing classical violin for years.
