A 25-year Philippine business veteran, David Elefant knows a thing or two about helping entrepreneurs succeed in the country. He has learned from, worked with, and solved problems for CEOs in industries ranging from law firms to construction supplies to search engine optimization (SEO). In addition to being Director for DAYANAN Business Consultancy, David is also the co-founder of Ace Wireless Network, specializing in broadband innovations for tourist spots like Boracay and Panglao. He has also lent his expertise as co-director to the Founder Institute, a Silicon Valley-based startup accelerator, helping young entrepreneurs learn how to build enduring companies. David’s experience in diverse industries and dealing with the Philippine government, especially with the Food and Drug Authority (FDA), is what sets him apart from others in the field: a whole-of-business approach coupled with smart, realistic know-how of what works.
