The Story

David Warren is a seasoned global business executive with over 30 years of experience spanning digital transformation, brand strategy, e-commerce, product management, and demand generation. He has led marketing organizations across North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America; building the programs and platforms that move businesses forward.

He is, by training, both a marketer and a technologist. A BFA in Design from Louisiana State University gave him the visual and creative foundation. An MBA from the University of Colorado gave him the strategic and analytical edge. The combination is rare; and it's exactly what Starboard Intelligence is built on.

Throughout his career, David has had a consistent obsession: using digital technology to create real business outcomes. Not dashboards for dashboards' sake. Not campaigns for awareness alone. Revenue. Market share. Customer retention. Measurable results.

"David is a unique combination of marketer AND technologist. He is a visionary and very creative, but also has a deep understanding of how to execute on complex digital strategies." ; Kevin McConnell, Principal @ Projekt202

Outside of work, David has raced sailboats since the age of 8 and is today a member of Rush Creek Yacht Club in Heath, TX. The nautical ethos behind Starboard Intelligence; chart the course, read the conditions, commit to the heading; is not a marketing metaphor. It's how David actually thinks.

Starboard Intelligence was built to put that experience; the full stack of strategy, technology, creative, and execution; directly in the hands of businesses that need it. No overhead. No hand-waving. No vague promises. Just the work.
