About David
David Stott is an enterprise AI and Salesforce transformation executive whose career spans executive advisory, enterprise architecture, platform strategy, delivery leadership, and operating-model change.
Leadership Story

Across more than 25 years, David has led through the practical realities of transformation: programs that have lost confidence, operating models that cannot support the strategy, platforms that have become projects instead of capabilities, and emerging AI investments that need clearer governance and value.
His perspective is shaped by leadership roles in consulting, financial services, higher education, technology, and professional services. He works across the executive and technical layers of an organization, helping leaders make better decisions and delivery teams translate those decisions into durable capability.
David's doctrine is simple: business before technology. Technology can accelerate transformation, but leadership, ownership, process, data, trust, and measurable outcomes determine whether transformation takes hold.
