About David Spungin

David Spungin is a leadership advisor to founders running $2M–$20M companies who have reached what he calls the Leadership Chokepoint—the moment when growth starts to stall because too many decisions still run through the founder. 

For more than a decade, David has coached senior leaders inside Fortune 500 companies, including C-Suite executives and VPs responsible for teams of hundreds or thousands. 

Today he brings that same level of leadership insight to founders navigating the pressures of growth—decision overload, leadership team complexity, and the shift from operator to leader of leaders. 

A West Point graduate and combat veteran, David is known for a style he calls “brutal compassion”—direct challenge paired with trusted support. Founders work with him as a sounding board to think clearly under pressure, confront hard realities, and build leadership teams that can operate without them in every room.
