Dave Sylvia

Born in small Rhode Island, Dave seeks to expand his boundaries perpetually across the world.

In Virginia, he studied the intersections of business, anthropology, and design at the University of Richmond (and again later at the University of Cincinnati).

In Hong Kong, he witnessed first-hand how living as a minority inside a foreign culture can, in turn, teach you a lot about yourself.

In Cincinnati and Boston, he catalyzed growth for 20 of P&G’s billion-dollar brands, specializing in brand turnarounds, new brand/category creation, and team reorganizations; Gillette’s transformation in a Dollar Shave Club world was the most fun.

In Zimbabwe, he accepted his fate as an entrepreneur and founded a travel service named after the ever-relatable Robinson Crusoe.
