Bio
Gina Rentz
I worked with Dave Bishop for many years and honestly can say those were some of the best years in my career. Under Dave’s leadership, our company was well respected, and we were able to work through some difficult and trying times in our industry and company’s history. I know I’m not alone in thinking he is incredibly smart, and along with his honesty, integrity and overall thoughtfulness we were able to learn much and grow, feel appreciated and valued - and his ultimate focus of making sure our customers were the top priority – it was a great balance that I know served us well.

A firm believer in transparency and open lines of communication across all levels of a business, Dave has successfully motivated large teams, as both a CFO and CEO, to achieve greatness and overcome significant obstacles. His forthright approach and accessibility garnered the respect of all who reported to him as well as those lucky enough to work alongside him. Dave fostered an environment of collaboration, constructive debate and teamwork I hope to someday find once again in my career. Strategy setting and problem solving were conversations rather than directives and the bottom line benefited greatly from his willingness to tackle new initiatives from many angles. A masterful negotiator and empathetic leader with a keen analytical mind, Dave’s brand of management is a recipe for success in my book. His professionalism and poise in all situations positively influenced my own style in ways I’ll continually be grateful for. Any executive team will find themselves exceedingly lucky to have Dave at the helm.
