Why it’s personal to David

“Having spent over three years working at a beauty brand exposed me to the daily grind every Consumer business faces. Building a company from scratch involves an incredible amount of execution, problem-solving and patience and I feel fortunate having had a front row seat to the early years at LAWLESS. My time on the brand side has given me an invaluable perspective when advising founders on one of the most important events in their lives.”
