Every executive hits a point where the job outgrows the playbook that got them there. The strategy is clear on paper. The team is capable. And yet something isn’t converting. That gap is where David Turner works, from Denver, with CEOs and C-suite leaders at companies from $50M to $27B.
David Turner is a Denver-based executive coach and the founder of Velocity Now LLC. He has spent 13,400+ hours coaching CEOs, CFOs, CMOs, CHROs and CROs, and he came to coaching from the seats his clients hold: CEO of a private equity backed technology company, Senior Vice President and Managing Director at DigitalGlobe in Westminster, Colorado, Vice President at IHS, and 57 closed M&A transactions. He coaches Denver and Front Range executives in person and leaders across the United States by video.
At DigitalGlobe, the organization David led went from $320M to $703M in revenue while employee engagement rose from 44% to 97%. Later he ran a private equity backed company as CEO, with a board, an operating partner and a value creation plan he had to own. Along the way he closed 57 M&A deals.
That history changes the first session. His clients don’t spend it explaining what a board meeting feels like when the plan gets rewritten, or what integration does to a leadership team. They start on shared language and get to the real issue faster.
