Point D
About David Rasch
Humble entrepreneurs know they need help to build a system to grow their business. By helping teams find their path, find their rhythm, learn their strengths, find the right tools, and embrace the growth mindset all problems, products, and businesses become tractable and more fun. PointD describes when you're in control of your business, instead of the other way around.
Working in and on teams, I've helped to grow and mature leadership teams both in the corporate and non-profit sectors.
I draw experience from 20 years of leadership on teams from 1 to 300+LinkedIn Profile. In practice, I find the tools that work for you and the problem at hand.
Inside and working with teams I've used and iterated on everything from the engineering-focused Agile, Scrum, and Kanban along with EOS, Rockefeller Habits, Scaling Up, 5 Dysfunctions of a Team, StrengthsFinder, and DiSC. I've helped to build leadership training programs and rolled them out across the organization. I've helped to grow and establish centers of excellence whose members have gone on to succeed in roles in every industry imaginable.
I believe in a people-centered approach to building inclusive cross-functional teams who routinely deliver valuable products to customers and return to shareholders.
I served as both CTO and Chief Architect at email marketing company iContact, and grew from a technology team of one person to over 80 people. I went on to launch the data science team at the musician platform ReverbNation. Most recently, I helped install the EOS process for the management team and reboot the technology teams at 3 Birds Marketing, a digital marketing agency for the auto industry. I've also worked at Infinia ML and built an exceptional team from 2 to 10 while creating a renowned interviewing process.
Back in the day, I earned a Masters from Johns Hopkins University and a Bachelors, both in Computer Science, from University of Illinois.
