Bio

Dave is a Yellow Point co-founder, and spends much of his time identifying new investment opportunities and encouraging growth in existing portfolio companies. He was previously CEO of Greenlight Power Technologies, a privately-held energy technology company that he successfully repositioned from a small niche player to the global leader in its field. In 2003, Dave engineered the sale of Greenlight to a strategic buyer. Prior to Greenlight, Dave was a Senior Vice President in the investment banking group of Merrill Lynch. Dave holds the ICD.D Designation from the Institute of Corporate Directors, an MBA from the University of Western Ontario, and a B.Com. from the University of Calgary. He is a board member and chair of the opportunities committee for BC Social Venture Partners, a group of business executives tackling BC’s largest social challenges through a venture philanthropy model. On the weekends you will find Dave enjoying the great outdoors of Vancouver and Whistler on a hike, bike or stand-up paddleboard. Other passions include nature photography, ultimate, electric vehicles and playing sports with his awesome three sons. After growing up a meat and potatoes Calgary boy (and Flames fan), it’s still hard for him to believe that his favorite foods now include sushi, Thai and Indian (and that he has become a Canucks fan).
