| David Woods, CEO |
| As CEO of Magellan Executive Partners, David is passionate about helping CEOs and owners grow their organizations, their leaders, and their teams. David is an expert in strategic thinking, executive development, and executive coaching. David’s greatest attribute is the deep level of trust and friendship he builds with those he has the opportunity to know and serve. A believer that the “skills and wisdom” of great leaders and great organizations can be taught, David has helped to author several of Magellan’s key growth programs, including Strategic Orienteering, Master Executive, and Leading UP. Early in life, David was voted “shyest boy” in high school. His years of national and international experience have provided him opportunities to learn the skill of networking and building long-term executive relationships. Inspired by these interactions, David authored the book “The Art of Networking... Beyond the Handshake” and is now a sought-after speaker on this topic. Notably, David is the former CEO of Ditch Witch® Construction Equipment. With more than 1600 employees and 140 dealers in 40 countries, the company is the world’s largest manufacturer of underground construction equipment.
