Dave McTavish

I’ve had an extensive career, that has allowed me to work at both start-ups & multinational corporations across multiple industries (Telcom, FinTech). My roll-up-the-sleeves and get things done approach has earned me key roles leading Software, Hardware, QA, Project Management, DevOps and Consulting teams where I often led by example with my contributions.

I have built products from scratch as the primary developer/architect to being responsible for the day-to-day operations of a 60-person, 12-month cross-functional project. Many of the products that I’ve delivered are still in production 15 years later.

I’ve led teams as small as 5 and organizations as large as 200 and am proud of the world-class engineers and engineering managers that I have coached along the way. I have experience scaling organizations from 30 to 100+ while building a team culture that has seen several teams stay together for over ten years. I have had some truly wonderful experiences living & working abroad, from India to Portland, from Israel to the Cayman Islands. All of these experiences have helped me appreciate the benefits of embracing diverse viewpoints and ways to collaborate.

Through all of this, I have discovered that I'm truly passionate about building teams that build products.
