Author Information

"David Dodson is on the faculty of Stanford University's Graduate School of Business, where he guides students in tactical execution. He teaches one of the most sought-after courses at Stanford, and in 2023 the Economist listed his course as one of the three ""hottest"" courses at Stanford. He is a recent recipient of the MSx Teaching Excellence Award and a six-time speaker in the graduation Last Lecture series. He also holds an economics and business degree from Stanford University. Dodson's success in the classroom follows a vast experience in the trenches. Beginning as a McKinsey & Company consultant, he left to become a serial entrepreneur, where he operated six companies as CEO or executive chairman. He has since served as a board member of more than forty companies and has been an active investor in over 150 businesses. He is a frequent business commentator on CNBC and Fox News, and he has been published in the New York Times, Boston Globe, Fortune, Forbes, CNN, Business Insider, The Hill, and Denver Post, along with other publications. In 2018 he ran for Wyoming's US Senate seat, hoping to help restore order and civility to our broken political system. Through his continued interest, he founded StudentVotes to increase student access to voting, where they developed innovative technology that has been sixty-one times more effective than prior get-out-the-vote techniques. In 2000 Dodson cofounded Sanku, which developed the only successful technology to fortify grains with lifesaving micronutrients in rural African mills. The award-winning technology was named as Time Magazine's 100 Best Inventions and received the IoT Evolution Product of the Year Award by Vodaphone. Sanku was listed by Fast Company as one of the ""Most Innovative Companies."" Through this work, Sanku has saved and improved the lives of over five million rural families in Africa.
