David J. Kim
Founder & CEO
David has delivered over two decades of executive and entrepreneurial leadership across industry-defining technology-based companies, responsible for: defining go-to-market strategy, raising venture capital, leading product development, designing scalable business models, and accelerating financial performance through organic growth, improved unit economics, and strategic partnerships.
David served as Founder, CEO and Chairman of Intellus Learning, an education platform-as-a-service company that supported enhanced learning with intelligent analytics to help teachers and institutions select the best content for each learner.

Mr. Kim began his career as an M&A investment banker with BancAmerica Robertson Stephens and a senior strategy consultant with Accenture.
Mr. Kim holds a Bachelor of Science in Operations Research and Industrial Engineering from the University of California at Berkeley, as well as a Masters degree in Management and Engineering from Stanford University.
