Dave Clack is a technology CEO and board advisor who has also held CPO and CRO roles, with thirty years spent building, scaling and turning around the kind of organizations this book describes. After an early career in consulting spanning delivery, sales and commercial leadership, he led delivery and operations at LMAX, the $1 billion regulated FX exchange behind Humble and Farley's Continuous Delivery; took CatDV through 4x revenue growth to acquisition by a NASDAQ listed buyer; and has led post-acquisition integrations and advised founder-led firms through decades of growth and transformation.

Dave works with a small number of leadership teams each year in technology-enabled growth businesses, founder-led firms, and PE-backed scale-ups. The engagements share a pattern: a real commercial outcome the leadership team is committed to, and a willingness to look at the organization honestly.
