chief operating officer
Triton Systems Inc.
David has 40 years of business experience in biotech, biomedical, aerospace and other high technology fields. He has served Triton and its affiliates as a C-level officer from startup through self-sufficiency. Over the course of his 20-year career with Triton, David has served as CFO of two of Triton’s public company affiliates, and CEO, CFO or COO of seven privately financed affiliates. In these roles, he has led many rounds of private and public equity financing for its spin-offs and affiliates, set up joint ventures, acquired and sold businesses and in- or out-licensed numerous technologies.
David came to the Triton Systems family of companies from ImageMax, Inc., (now DataBank IMX), where he was a founder and president, and part of the group that took ImageMax public in 1997. Prior to that, David co-managed Airfoil Technologies, LLC, a joint venture between Teleflex and General Electric to provide the world's commercial airlines with turbine repair services. (General Electric acquired 100% of the venture in 2009.) This capped a ten year career at Teleflex, where he had built the engine repair business from a single facility into a global network of services.
David began his career as a mechanical engineer with Pratt and Whitney Aircraft, designing engine components and later running development and test programs. He holds an M.B.A. from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and a B.A. from Yale University.
