David Harty

An innovative business professional with over two decades of dynamic expertise in nurturing and expanding businesses ranging from ambitious startups to growth companies and mature corporate enterprises.

Specialising in enhancing business and commercial impact, I gained considerable experience in fostering operational efficiencies and business growth through effective approaches to change management, dynamic system & project implementation and strategic software development. My track record showcases proficiency in identifying and utilising operational process & technology solutions to drive transformation at both organisational and industry levels.

Armed with a background in Commerce, particularly Finance and Accounting, I first honed my business acumen through professional engagements in South Africa and self-initiated ventures in the UK. Later, my entrepreneurial mindset developed over a decade as a senior executive and shareholder at a highly successful technology company before a successful corporate exit sale transaction to a large multinational.

Having navigated executive, managerial, and operational roles in the realms of business operations and technology as both a client and vendor, I have been successful in steering large-scale projects and managing cross-functional teams with finesse. My adept people management skills have empowered me to extract optimal value from diverse talent pools and align operational resources with strategic goals, making me a formidable asset for driving business success.

Eager to channel my rich and adaptable background into a consulting and coaching role which aligns with forward-thinking business strategies, methodologies and solutions, I joined The Alternative Board as a Business Owner in The South African Southern Cape region where I leverage my experience in conjunction with TAB’s proven formula to facilitate and help business owners improve their businesses in ways that change their lives.
