Advisory & Consulting
I've founded four companies and three nonprofits, and led R&D teams at Facebook, Google, and Capital One. I bring deep product thinking and a bias for innovation to every engagement —helping organizations of all sizes sharpen their product strategy, de-risk technical bets, and move faster from idea to impact.
The mix of real stories, clear frameworks, and practical tools landed well. The focus on AI as a genuine thinking partner strongly resonated with our direction for Enterprise Technology. We will double-down on design engineering as a core part of how we build our products.
David has been in our corner from the day we started in my garage. As both an advisor and board member, he's always available to jump on a call on short notice, whether we need a quick gut-check or a deeper strategic conversation. What makes David special is his ability to help us clarify our own goals and then weigh every business, product, and strategy decision up against them. He's a rare mentor who empowers you to make better decisions instead of just telling you what to do.
David is the uber-PM. He trained countless excellent PMs at Google to actually be good — focused on users, real value creation, and product–market fit. I've worked with hundreds of PMs. David stood out, and is one of the few I've kept in touch with. I could continue to learn from him, and would work for and with him again in a hot minute.
David has been instrumental in shaping everything I do in Venture Capital, from helping us see the opportunity to create the first pre-seed/seed fund in Mexico, building that first fund together, to now over a decade giving me ideas, feedback and advice as part of 500 Global's over a decade investing in the region.

A new Vendor Spending page, under Budget, indexes a decade-plus of district checks: search any vendor, see year-by-year totals, browse by category. And it answers the obvious question — did we really triple our spending? Mostly no: the big swings are bond construction and pass-through, not baseline operating.
The board's 619 policies now have searchable Spanish titles. Every school page shows who teaches there. The site behaves on a phone. And two bugs in our own data — doubled English Learner counts and 22 broken Spanish transcripts — that we found and fixed.
There's a search box now. Type a school, a topic, a dollar figure — it searches six years of public record in English or Spanish, and links straight to the document, not just the meeting that mentioned it.
