Summary
David Preece is a seasoned business and product strategist with over two decades of experience building and scaling tech-driven companies, from founding startups to leading product and marketing at high-profile security and consumer ventures. He combines hands-on full-stack development experience with executive leadership—serving as CPO/CDO/CMO and board advisor—bringing measurable results in product-market fit, BI/AI-driven features, and rapid customer growth. At Troomi he helped scale an MVNO from zero to tens of thousands of subscribers using AI/LLM and a people-centered culture; at Fortem he led ML/AI and edge-computing efforts that earned broad media recognition and major government contracts. David has a track record of turning terabytes of operational data into predictive, revenue-generating products and of creating cross-functional teams that ship patented, award-winning solutions. He’s equally comfortable in mission-driven consumer spaces—designing safe, KidSmart experiences—and in complex B2B defense and enterprise markets, with a pragmatic focus on measurement, iteration, and culture. Outside the obvious titles, he’s known for building environments where candor, optimism, and curiosity accelerate disruptive innovation.
