About Dave Wiegman

At the core of my professional and personal journey is a deep-seated commitment to driving positive change and fostering community enrichment. My guiding principle centers around enhancing financial strategies that empower not-for-profit organizations and businesses alike to flourish in diverse and dynamic environments. This philosophy propels me to not only maximize financial efficiency but also to craft solutions that bridge the gap between fiscal responsibility and impactful community engagements. With extensive experience as a senior finance and not-for-profit executive, I have honed a variety of expertise areas: from cost-benefit analysis and risk evaluation, to contract negotiations and sales forecasting. My proficiency in M&A analysis and acquisition integration allows me to maneuver complex financial landscapes with precision. My bilingual ability has been pivotal in fostering relationships and aligning strategies across English and Spanish-speaking regions, ensuring seamless communication and collaboration worldwide. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of achieving significant milestones. As Chief of Staff at Opportunity International, I played a critical role as a trusted advisor, where my strategic alignment initiatives were instrumental in shaping the FY23-FY25 strategic plan. I have successfully managed high-stake negotiations and sales coordination, such as leading the sale of nine banks across Africa, Colombia, and Eastern Europe, removing $30 million in debt from balance sheets. These accomplishments, coupled with my board memberships across various international foundations, underscore my dedication to driving excellence and transformation. Looking ahead, my ambition is to leverage my extensive experience to help organizations harness their financial potential and expand their social impact. I am passionate about advising on strategic financial frameworks and mentoring finance teams to cultivate leadership and innovation.
