At Masterworks, Dave leads one of the industry’s strongest teams in analytics, media, and strategy – and the industry’s only experience design team.

This week Dave joined Gabe Cooper to discuss  the qualities all top nonprofit leaders have in common, why nonprofits should lead the world in managing data with integrity, and creating a renaissance of innovation in the nonprofit sector.

“We’re very passionate about helping ministries and nonprofits grow and we’ve done that though marketing, fundraising and strategy,” Dave said. “It’s a cool matchup between what I feel called to do and what Masterworks does.”
