David

Co-Founder & Chief Experience Officer at Sonix (sonix.ai)
Entrepreneur with a passion for startups and working in fast paced environments. These are the most exciting moments in life - you put yourself in a great position to learn and try things that you haven't done before. I always optimize for impact. I enjoy designing experiences and building an amazing team focused on two things 1) putting people first and 2) delight through simplicity. I have a varied background in design, business development, internet advertising, analytics, product management, and a strong love for photography. It's incredible how often I draw upon past experiences when designing new experiences. But it's more amazing when I learn from the smart people around me -- they challenge me in new ways, they force me to dream bigger. I don't know how else to say it, but I'm extremely lucky.
