Dave Hersh
I help transform organizations through human-centered leadership. As a CEO, investor, coach, Chairman, and advisor, I’ve guided hundreds of ambitious founders from stuckness to breakthrough success by focusing on the human element. My approach combines deep business experience with practical, psychology-based methods that create lasting competitive advantage.

The Last Frontier of Competitive Advantage is Human
The future belongs to companies that:
- Build moats through human understanding and connection
- Transform leadership through self-awareness
- Create cultures where people and performance flourish
- Drive innovation through emotional intelligence
