Founder's Mission
David C. Woessner founded W Advisors with a mission to help organizations navigate the complexities of scaling effectively.
David C. Woessner
Founder & Managing Partner
With over 25 years of experience leading Fortune 500 companies, governments, and high-growth startups, David founded W Advisors to address a critical gap: growth-minded organizations need strategic partners who understand both the art of vision and the science of execution.
David’s approach combines rigorous analytical frameworks (established as an engineer and physicist) with creative problem-solving (honed by his liberal arts and business school education), helping organizations navigate complex stakeholder environments while maintaining focus on sustainable outcomes. His work spans public-private partnerships, venture-backed technology companies, and established industrial leaders seeking transformational growth.
Previous Experience: Business and corporate development (M&A) roles at IBM and Deloitte, mayoral appointee in municipal government (City of Detroit), senior executive roles and board member responsibility for multiple venture-backed technology and platform companies.
