Dave Guenthner is one of those rare consultants and speakers who hasn’t just read about growing a profitable business or just talked to some successful executives about what they did in their business. Dave has grown businesses successfully and helped others grow their business. Dave’s doctorate comes from experiences in the business world, not academia.

Experience you can trust.

In 1982 Dave co-founded and, as EVP and CFO, was instrumental in growing ValCom/Inacom from an idea into a $6 billion dollar publicly traded, Fortune 500 company with 10,000 employees. ValCom/Inacom was the industry leading provider of IBM, Compaq and Hewlett Packard micro-computers and related services to Fortune 1000 clients.

Dave identified, negotiated and integrated over 25 acquisitions. He raised over $2 billion dollars of capital from equity sales, bond offerings, and asset securitizations to fund growth. A recognized leader in the industry, Dave has spoken on the computer industry and business operations at numerous investment conferences. He has advised IBM, Compaq and Hewlett Packard on distribution, the micro-computer industry and customer expectations.

In November, 2003 Dave began working with the owners and executives of RTG Medical, a $ 3 million temporary Medical Staffing company that was interested in growing their business. Dave worked closely with the company to establish strategy, compensation plans, access to capital, infrastructure and a culture for success. By 2008, the company had grown to $35 million dollars.

Recognition of expertise in business.

RTG was recognized in 2005, 2006 and 2008 by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest growing private companies in the United States.
