As Founder/CEO of Hunter 23 Technologies and former VP/Chief Strategist at HPE Labs, he blends hands-on architecture experience with corporate strategy and program management to drive customer success. David also advises emerging companies and sits on advisory boards (TrueNAS, Lucata) while contributing to open source efforts, reflecting a continuing appetite for technical learning and community impact.
