Background

About Dave Roberts

I have a passion for business, particularly in enabling growth and change. I’ve worked with companies across the spectrum from global multinationals in mining and telecommunications to tech startups in Colorado and NGOs in Ethiopia. Such a diverse range of experience has taught me what it takes for a business to succeed, irrespective of its size, industry or location. The probability of success is greatly determined by how the organization itself is conceived, designed and managed. Which is where I specialize: building organizations that can scale profitably and efficiently. Too many businesses fail or fail to reach their potential for reasons that could have been prevented with robust thinking, planning and the application of evidence-based practices. Tried and true practices that work without the need for ‘hope and see what happens’. Why kick the accountability can down the road or allow problems to fester? Change is possible, inertia is optional. Why allow your business to be stymied by its own dysfunction when you have the choice to do better? I didn’t just learn these lessons by helping others. I have started and built highly successful businesses in real estate that deliver significant cash-on-cash returns to our investors. This required me to apply what I know and to intentionally fix what was broken so our businesses could scale and free up my time to move on to the next project. Being a great leader and building a successful business is not a matter of grinding yourself into the ground through hard graft. It is about thinking smarter, empowering your problem solving mind and building systems that allow growth. This is my specialty and where I can help you. Whether you need a consultant or a coach, I can help in areas of- Strategy and business planning - Operations - Change management - Organization design and human resources - Marketing and branding strategy.
