David Feldt’s Summary

A degree in math and computer science and a love of analytics got me into derivatives trading where I discovered my addiction to constant change and innovation, my love of technology, my passion for understanding people and how their beliefs, values, perceptions, fears and greed transform markets. It’s where I nurtured a sense of urgency and an impatience to achieve results. In other words, It was an excellent training ground for working in the digital marketing and technology startup space.

In 1994, I witnessed the Internet over a 300 baud dial-up connection; I was instantly smitten and thought, "this will change the world." So I founded my own Internet solutions business with BMW as my first client. After 3 years, I sold my business and moved to North America, and to Modem Media where I established and grew their account services practice. Then I migrated to Wunderman. As VP, Interactive, I built Wunderman Canada‘s digital practice and subsequently sold the services across the Wunderman network in North America and Europe, working on brands like Ford, AT&T and Citibank. I then became SVP in New York, leading a global team responsible for IBM’s interactive marketing across major markets in North America, Europe and Asia.

I missed working exclusively on digital, so I joined Blast Radius' Toronto office as Managing Director. While there I opened and grew their Chicago office, focusing on driving business in Eastern Canada and the Central US. In 2005, I became the head of Organic’s Toronto office. In the next 4 years we grew fourfold in size and service three of Organic’s largest global clients—Chrysler, Nike and Bank of America. I also became the publisher of Organic’s industry-insider blog, http://threeminds.com

I think of myself as a collaborator, cross-pollinator, experimenter, connector, doer, entrepreneur, builder. That’s what living digitally does to you, makes you think not just outside of the box but across boxes and borders.
