Jay David took an unconventional path to business leadership, moving from college dropout and restaurant manager to accountant, operations executive, and ultimately Chief Operating Officer of a $300+ million manufacturing enterprise. Along the way, he rebuilt failing operations, navigated Chapter 11 bankruptcy, led large-scale plant consolidations, executed complex integrations, and delivered sustained profitability and growth across multi-site organizations in the U.S. and Mexico. His career spans cost accounting, strategic finance, operations leadership, and turnarounds within founder-led, private-equity, and Fortune 500 environments, including Nabisco and Kraft Foods. Today, as founder of Do Business Better, Jay helps companies scale from entrepreneurial beginnings to disciplined, profitable growth by bridging the gap between finance and operations—drawing on hard-earned lessons from the road less traveled.
