Leadership

David founded Innovative Engineering Systems, Inc. in 2002, along with fellow engineer Ben Gough, and built the company up into a world-class engineering and construction company serving global customers. With 30 years of industry experience behind him, David has led the company on a journey of strategic growth through his impressive entrepreneurial vision and determination. He has successfully navigated multiple mergers and acquisitions (including TSM and ESI), integrating the expertise, strengths, and reputations of these companies and their people in order to expand Agilitech’s capabilities to better serve its customers.

David has led the establishment of several market-focused divisions, such as Food & Beverage, and Biotech. He seeks to recruit the most talented, experienced, and knowledgeable people to execute his vision of providing quality products and services to clients, and he listens to and empowers his people to create, to innovate, and to trust their instincts. One of David’s favorite quotes, and an ideal that guides his leadership, is this:

“Strive for perfection in everything you do. Take the best that exists and make it better. When it does not exist, design it.” – Sir Henry Royce

The commitment to quality and integrity that defined IES in the early days continues to shape David’s leadership of Agilitech today. He is wholeheartedly committed to serving the customer, and to keeping his word, and these personal values are reflected throughout every division and team within the company. David is always on the lookout for opportunities to enhance Agilitech’s service offering, to adapt and evolve, to add value in new ways, and to serve new sectors, and he has a history of successfully expanding the company into new markets. It is on this solid and formidable foundation that Agilitech is built, and it is this same visionary leadership and personal integrity that will continue to drive the company forward.
