David S. Rogers

Optimizer-in-Chief

My niche plays

Examining challenges in the context of the business, specifically snapshots of the company – past and present – to suggest planning, resources, tactics, and roadmaps that are strategically informed and aligned.

Focusing on where business and technology intersect directly in the workplace – the data – and the people who create it, collect it, curate it and consume it as the starting point to revealing opportunities to improve performance.

I have supported C-level sponsored initiatives as a Management Consultant. I have also been entrusted with three vertical (global, organizational) multi-year transformations through a position as the inhouse IT stakeholder.

I have teamed with General Counsels, CFOs and third-party advisors to implement control frameworks (SSAE16 SOC 2 Type II), aligning them with industry standards (NIST, ISO 27001, PCIDSS, HITRUST) and legislation (Sarbanes-Oxley, EU Privacy, GDPR, HIPAA).

I know stuff. And its yours if you want it. Tell me what you want, why and what that looks like for you and I can help ensure we get it done.

Meet with David



Our Growing Community


 

Here is some feedback from past and present collaborators

 

  • "David has implemented a plan that he proposed 2 years ago and we are in the final stretch of implementing that plan. This is a tremendous accomplishment and we are eternally grateful. It behooves us to utilize the current transition in IS, to best plan for continued stability. We appreciate all David is doing and continues to do to achieve this." David Markowitz, Managing Director at Olami

 

  • "Dave refers to himself as 'the fixer' and as a strategic thinker that tactically executes. This has been his brand since I first met him and it is accurate. He is adept in handling exceptionally dynamic environments to grinding down through the most mundane tasks involving knowledge transfer to ensure completeness of understanding. While Dave warrants and enjoys asking/answering strategic questions - he is ready and willing to move beyond the theory and strategy - all the way down to doing the necessary tasks required to bring home a deliverable. This twofold 'strategic thinker and tactical execution' can be summarized as "Dave is the guy that makes it happen." I am glad that we were able to work together, and I'd gladly work with Dave again." Mark Badeau, Senior Director Product Management & Professional Services | Growth Coach, Virtustream

 

  • "Dave is an excellent person to work with. For context I was tech lead / dev manager to his product lead where he includes everyone that needed to be involved in a project and he ensures everyone’s needs and views are taken into account. Then then makes decisions where conflicting requirements spring up in order that projects stay on track. Communication with all was a highlight – letting the technical folks on my team know where we were headed and letting the users and other stakeholders know about the projects’ status and timelines. He is someone who I’d readily work with again – and I’m not sure there can be much more of a recommendation than that, can there?" Rob Randell, Senior Consultant at Dell EMC

 

 

  • "David is one of the most collaborative individuals it has been my pleasure to work with in 25 years. No ego just team work. He is hard working as well as having the ability to work smart. In addition, I've seen how he manages staff both directly as well as those matrixed and he does quite efffectively.  I look forward to working with David some time in the future." Margaret Alfano, Customer Success Lead Americas at ThetaRay

 

 

  • "Working with David over the past few years has been both professionally and personally rewarding. He's a many-hat-wearer (and looks dashing in each). All kidding aside, he's relentless in his pursuit of quality and his dedication not only to the firm's success but equally to the clients' success, is something to which any consultant should aspire." Nick Kramer, Vice President, Digital - Data & Analytics at SSA & Company

 

  • "I had the opportunity to work in a training situation for David and his staff. There were many challenging moments and areas for difficult but important discussion. David is clearly a leader that stands out. He led his team, interacted with them and made his mission, vision and scope of work clear. He walked his team through difficult material and made clear his commitment to his project and them. He expressed his ideas and spent time not only sharing with his team but also with me. I highly recommend David as I would enjoy the opportunity to work with him in the future on other projects." Howard Cohen, Head, Digital Capability Management, Collaboration Services

 

 

  • "I worked for David in BusinessEdge and jumped at the opportunity to work for him again in IEEE. He manages by objective, encourages novel and independent thinking and protects his people from everyday politics. He brings his entire business experience to bear on the matter at hand, forming trusting relationships and driving towards the ultimate deliverable, not settling for second best." Matty Rubenstein, Aspaklaria - Strategy Consulting to Professional Association Executives
