David Rose

David Rose is a former McKinsey & Company strategy consultant and the founder and managing director of Triente, a strategic advisory, advanced analytics, and primary market research firm he established in 2012 and runs from Fort Collins, CO. He has spent three decades in strategy, data science, and technology, advising boards, executive teams, and investors on the calls that are hardest to make and most expensive to get wrong.

He built the firm around one observation from his career: on the biggest decisions, standard consulting analysis is not good enough. Triente brings together sector knowledge, in-house analytics, and primary research so the recommendation rests on more than a framework.

David is based in Fort Collins, CO. Triente serves clients across the United States, Europe, and Asia.

Before founding Triente, David held senior leadership roles in some of the most analytically demanding businesses in the market:

• McKinsey & Company — Former McKinsey strategy consultant to Fortune 500 leadership teams on the largest commercial and operational decisions facing their businesses.
• Fiserv — Senior Vice President; founded and led one of the first SaaS analytics businesses for financial institutions (launched 2009), with end-to-end ownership of strategy, product, and analytics.
• Amazon Web Services — Go-to-market leader for enterprise generative AI at AWS, working with large companies on how to adopt and run modern data and AI systems in production.

Strategy consulting, an operating role inside a regulated industry, and direct work with modern data and AI infrastructure: that mix is what David brings to every Triente engagement.

• Education at Purdue, MIT, and Columbia with degrees and graduate certificates in mathematics, economics, and operations research.
• Holds five patents in applied analytics and software systems.
• Published author and keynote speaker on strategy and applied data science.

• Banking & Insurance
• Consumer Financial Products
• Machine Learning & AI Providers
• Governments & Non-Profits
• Private Equity
• Healthcare

A few open tools and references that show how the firm thinks about data, modeling, and applied analytics:
