David Hale is a seasoned technology and product leader with nine years of recent experience and a two-decade career building teams and products that apply ML/AI and GIS to real-world problems across Southeast Asia, Japan, North America, Europe and Africa. He combines Bain-style strategic rigor and Stanford training (BSIE, MA, MBA) with hands-on product delivery—hiring and scaling engineering teams, defining PRDs for novel ML mapping models, and piloting internal LLM/RAG solutions to win >$25M proposals. As Director of TNS Labs he drove a 100x increase in mapping coverage, built a Kigali development center that saved $250–300K, and dramatically raised digital enablement from 24% to 90%. He’s also an operator-founder who grew Gigwalk to $4M ARR with 1M users and closed enterprise deals in the US and Japan, blending commercial acumen with technical depth. Now based in Portland and focused on customer success and product at Codeminer.ai, he brings a rare mix of global program leadership, ML/GIS product expertise, and pragmatic cost-conscious execution.
