Summary
Dave Jahr is a Strategic Marketing Director and IoT specialist with 25+ years bridging engineering, sales, procurement and product management across electronics manufacturing and telecommunications. He combines hands-on technical roots in electronics and timing/GPS solutions with senior leadership in purchasing, materials management and go-to-market strategy, having run IoT businesses and led supplier relationships to drive market share. Known for pragmatic cross-functional leadership, he translates supply chain realities into sales enablement, digital marketing and organizational best practices that accelerate adoption of emerging IoT technologies. Based in Greater Chicago, he pairs an MBA with deep operational experience from shop floor engineering to corporate strategy, and often acts as the internal “glue” between field sellers, suppliers and operations to convert complex opportunities into wins. An uncommon strength is his long track record of evolving company culture and legal/compliance-aware outsourcing strategies while still remaining a hands-on problem solver.
