About David Mayne
Experience creates perspective.
Over the years, I've worked across different technologies, markets, businesses, and business models. What I've discovered is that sometimes the greatest value of experience isn't knowing all the answers.
It's knowing which questions to ask.
I often see people who aren't looking for someone to run their business or tell them what to do. They're simply too close to the problem. They may see an opportunity but aren't sure how to approach it. They may have a great service but struggle to understand the market for it.
Or they may know something needs to change in their business, but aren't sure which direction to take.
That's where an outside perspective can make a difference.
I look for the gaps. The gap between what you're offering and what the market actually needs. Between where your business is today and where the opportunity may be. Between the technology available and the business problem you're actually trying to solve. Sometimes you don't need another consultant, a six-month engagement, or a complicated strategy.
Sometimes you just need a conversation with someone who understands business, markets, technology, and how the pieces fit together.
I truly, truly love creating success for other people, and I have been doing it for decades!

Favorite Sayings:
"Experience is what you get RIGHT AFTER you need it."
"Don't confuse motion with progress."
"Strategies may change, goals don't."
My experience matters, but only because it still leads to success.
When I sit down with someone, we usually don't need to spend much time establishing whether I understand business, markets, technology, sales, your career direction or the challenges that come with building something new. A few minutes of conversation tends to take care of that.
And that's important, because the conversation shouldn't be about me. It should be about you.
What are you trying to accomplish? Where are you stuck? What aren't you seeing? Is there a gap between your idea and the market? Are you solving the right problem? Is there another path you haven't considered?
And sometimes you simply need an experienced outside perspective to confirm that you're already heading in the right direction.
