DAVID W. CROME

Global IT Leader | Author | Project Management Futurist

David W. Crome is a Vice President of IT Global Program Management for a major multinational insurance firm headquartered in New York. Over a 25-year career in the financial sector, he has built a reputation for delivering high-stakes initiatives, specializing in complex IT infrastructure, information security, and global digital transformation.

RECLAIMING THE HEART OF LEADERSHIP

David wrote "The 80/20 Flip" to solve a problem he sees firsthand: project management has slowly become an exercise in data tracking rather than true leadership.

As a mentor to Project Managers at every level, David argues that the AI revolution is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to remove administrative drudgery. His mission is to help the next generation of leaders pivot their focus toward:

- Emotional Intelligence (EQ)

- Strategic Human Connection

- High-Impact Leadership

BEYOND THE BOARDROOM

When he isn't steering complex global initiatives, David lives in London with his wife and two teenage daughters. He is a lifelong learner who treats everything (from fitness to hobbies) as a project, with varying degrees of success.

- Marathons: 4 (3x New York, 1x London)

- Sports: Dedicated supporter of the NZ All Blacks and the SA Spurs.

- Hobbies: Avid collector of overpriced trainers and a perpetually frustrated golfer.
