David Chalk is the most passionate, driven, positive, calculated and compassionate leader I have ever met. He is powerful and forward-thinking yet down-to-earth and personable. He is highly strategic and visionary yet always in the moment and can process information at the speed of light. He is the sharpest listener and speaker I have ever come across and balances the two skills impeccably. I consider myself extremely fortunate to be able to work with David and soak up what I can while I can. (Note to reader: there is no ulterior motive behind this recommendation, it exists for it's own sake).
Source: LinkedIn Monica Morong Dec 31, 2013I know David from the BCAMA Senior Executive Program of which we are both members along with more than 20 other executive level marketers in Vancouver. Since the very first time I had the opportunity to interact with David, I have always impressed with his genuinely unique perspective and insightful contributions. He has a way of looking at a problem from a completely different angle than most and never ceases to amaze me with how creative and yet practical his input is. He has been a valuable part of our Senior Executive team and I would recommend engaging David on a wide range of business challenges.

Source: LinkedIn Lindsay Smith Dec 31, 2013I have known David for some 20 years and he has a unique way of seeing things clearly. He has passion for what he does and defines integrity. David has the ability to look at almost any industry and in real time create a new possibility for that company's growth, culture and profit. I would highly recommend reaching out to David to learn his secrets to success and how you can apply them to your business. He shares it all.

Source: LinkedIn Steve Kim Dec 31, 2013Having worked with David repeatedly over the past 10 years, I can attest to his dynamic nature and creativity. David is a rare individual with the ability to cut through the filler and to get to the core. I can unequivocally attest to David's integrity, his authenticity and to his ability to inspire and to motivate. If you have the opportunity to work with David, you should absolutely take advantage of the experience!
Source: LinkedIn Shawn Cody Dec 31, 2013David Chalk is a foward-thinking senior business executive with deep IT knowledge and real life business experience. It is this *combination* that is David's secret sauce.
I have known David since 1976 and he has always been an achiever—in his personal endeavors and his business ventures.
I recommended his company (Chalk Media) in 1996 to do a video for a new CRM related software tool and he delivered a compelling video that told the right story to our audience. At the time his work as the message visionary was leading-edge stuff!
Again, I hired him in 2000 to produce a flash sales-presentation-tutorial for a knowledge management product called Plan B, and again he asked all the right questions to get to the heart of our needs and more importantly he zeroed in on the needs our ideal customer to produce something that worked.
I would not hesitate to recommend David (in his new organization)—as the go-to guy—whenever you need a senior and seasoned marketing mind to tackle a challenge your company is having. He can help you grow your business.
Please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss his credentials and a fit for your business requirements.
Source: LinkedIn Guy Steeves Dec 31, 2013Dave Chalk is unique! I have known Dave for 20 years and I can honestly say that he is one of the few people I have met that possess such clarity, purpose and vision. Dave thinks on a completely different plane than most and as such can conceive of and deliver results that will exceed expectations. Dave’s marketing savvy combined with his successful track record gives him a depth and breadth of knowledge that others can now benefit from in his new venture. Dave has my highest recommendation.
Source: LinkedIn Steve Jillings Dec 31, 2013David is a brilliant entrepreneur who introduced me not only to the computer business, but exposed me to the intracacies of business and marketing strategy. No wonder he was a top Under-40 achiever with YEO. Although David understood every aspect of running and growing a thriving business, his real passions were in marketing and branding, realizing early on that branding not only the business but every differentiating feature of it was key. David remains among the most savvy business marketers I've ever known.
Source: LinkedIn Gary Meehan Dec 31, 2013Find a way to work from home it will full fill you so much your creativity will rocket.
The first years are so precious you can not miss them.
I did it and If i died today I would be complete

SFSteve FanaleFractional Executive - CEO, CPO, COO • Sydney NSW AustraliaMy 25-year entrepreneurial journey was probably inspired by my first venture into entrepreneurship many years before. I developed my first “app” using COBOL to manage the payroll at my part-time bar job while at university. It was even sold on a monthly subscription, a concept ahead of its time. I put my tech entrepreneurial ambitions on hold for the next decade while pursuing my sports passion, playing professional rugby league for the Parramatta Eels and the Balmain Tigers. Then, in 2001, amidst the Dot Com Boom, I founded MassMedia Studios, a digital agency driven by the drive to create innovative products and SaaS platforms. Our standout creation was the Traction Platform, a pioneering marketing automation tool. We expanded Traction globally with offices in New York and London. Simultaneously, we launched 2and2, an e-learning company specialising in creative e-learning products. In 2007, I successfully sold MassMedia and Traction, businesses experiencing 30% YoY growth and boasting clients like Unilever, Audi, and Diageo. My involvement continued with 2and2 as a non-executive director, which has now evolved into Cogniss, a no-code ecosystem to develop consumer and patient-facing digital health solutions based in the UK poised for substantial growth. Before founding Drive Yello in 2014, I ventured into Feverpitch Entertainment, a content creation company, and AppVillage, a virtual mobile app incubator. Drive Yello rekindled my focus on B2B platforms, which has remained my central pursuit for the past ten years. At the heart of the Drive Yello business is the ‘Yello’ platform, the smartest logistics platform that connects retailers to independent couriers to streamline deliveries for millions of Australians nationwide. In 2023, I founded the 4You Innovation Group, which is focused on developing technology and services to enable retailers to meet the ever-increasing demand for convenience. In line with this mission, we acquired the Hey You business, an order-ahead application targeting restaurants and cafes. I recently stepped down from my CEO role but remain on the board as a fractional executive working with the management and product teams. With a history of innovative product development and industry disruption, I have successfully built my career on being passionate about solving business problems with technology, developing teams, creating innovative products and initiating change in diverse industries.
