David Garrett is a seasoned software leader and manager with over two decades of hands-on engineering and a decade-plus in senior leadership roles, currently leading engineering at VE Solutions from his base in Beachwood, Ohio. He has repeatedly scaled teams and platforms—growing engineering organizations from single digits to dozens and delivering measurable business impact in fintech, healthcare, ticketing, and SaaS logistics. As a former CTO/CIO, he blends product ownership, architecture, and process engineering to turn proofs-of-concept into production systems that materially improve margins and throughput (e.g., driving 10x–20x growth metrics and multi-million-dollar revenue expansion). He pairs early-career fluency in C#, Java, and SQL Server with later expertise in cloud-native architectures and M&A-driven integration, and is adept at culture-building and cost-optimization that yields concrete savings. Not obvious from titles alone: he repeatedly leads both technical and commercial efforts—writing investor and sales materials, recruiting cross-functional teams, and aligning roadmaps through iterative user feedback.
