David Davids

As a seasoned operations and brand management professional with over 16 years of experience across retail, marketing, and strategy, I bring a unique blend of organizational efficiency, leadership, and creative innovation. My background includes overseeing high-performing teams, managing vendor and stakeholder relationships, and leading multifaceted campaigns for global brands. With a Bachelor’s in Business Administration and a track record of driving structured processes, I thrive in fast-paced, purpose-driven environments. My time working internationally, particularly in the U.S. Over the past four and a half years, I have sharpened my understanding of cross-cultural collaboration, digital tools (SharePoint, Teams, Zoom), and proactive office operations. I am excited by Synergos’ mission, and confident in my ability to contribute to a productive, organized, and values-aligned workplace.
