Dave Harrington

Dave is a native of San Jose, California. He grew up in a large Hispanic family as the 9th of 11 children and was the first to graduate college. At the age of 17, Dave enlisted in the Marine Corps and became a Naval Aircrewman on KC-130s. After serving for 4 years, Dave was accepted to the United States Naval Academy where he graduated with Merit and accepted a commission as an Ensign and service-selected Navy pilot. Dave later became a mission commander in the P-3 Orion and served overseas in support of both OIF and OEF earning two Air Medals. While serving on active duty, Dave earned his MBA from NYU Stern in Finance and began his consulting career in 2010 after transitioning into the Naval Reserve where he continues to serve today.

Dave started SIE in 2014 while supporting the General Services Administration’s (GSA) IT Category Manager. The experience and exposure gained at GSA over the last 7+ years has enabled SIE to become the government’s foremost experts in software licensing strategy and cost savings. It is this capability upon which Dave has built SIE into a trusted, multi-functional IT advisory firm.
