David Weaver
David Weaver is responsible for business development that drives innovation for Nestle Purina. Prior to escalating roles in marketing innovation for well-known brands he spent several years developing his business development skillset as a global strategy consultant. David’s passion project is sitting on the board of a local start-up that is leveling the playing field for life-changing nutrition.
His passion for innovation solidified in college when he started a company that joined consumers’ passion for customization with traditional wood working products via advanced manufacturing techniques. This start-up offered two valuable lessons; scary, complex problems can be broken down into simple pieces, and you must talk to your customer every day.
David earned several engineering degrees from Kansas State University and an MBA from the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California.
