Hi, I’m Davis…

I approach operations the way I approach music: with a deep respect for the craft, a commitment to the people I’m working with, and a focus on creating something greater than the sum of its parts. As an experienced operations manager and performer, I lead with a band mentality: every team member plays a critical role, and it’s my job to make sure we’re all in sync, driving toward a common goal with clarity and purpose.

Throughout my career, I’ve led cross-functional teams across multiple locations, coordinating efforts to ensure seamless execution, strong collaboration, and measurable results. I believe in strategy with heart—developing business plans rooted in real-world goals, backed by performance metrics (KPIs), and refined through consistent feedback and iteration.

My hands-on leadership style shines through in areas like staff development, recruiting, and training. I make a point to invest in my team’s growth, just as I would with fellow musicians—through active listening, clear direction, and shared accountability. I’ve successfully overseen initiatives ranging from product launches and menu expansions to point-of-sale integrations and visual merchandising, all aimed at elevating customer experience and optimizing sales performance.

A few career highlights include building a premium ice cream brand from the ground up, securing investor funding, overseeing brand acquisition, and expanding into multiple retail locations. Whether I’m leading a business or stepping on stage, I bring energy, precision, and a genuine passion for connecting with people and delivering standout experiences.
