About David

Being raised by a Marine, I am driven to accomplish missions. When people call me with problems, I see it as my mission to solve them. I also enjoy building trusted relationships and sharing information to help people make decisions that impact their business and careers.

I worked quite a bit in the industry that we service: real estate development, construction, and finance. When CEO Veronica Ramirez approached me about joining the team, it seemed like a natural marriage between my relationship-building skills and my background. I’m happy to say I am glad to have made the jump.

Before going into recruiting, my experience includes President and COO of a Texas based, private equity firm. Our focus was on opportunistic investments in real estate, and oil & gas. We acquired land, developed masterplan communities, and built homes. We also developed drilled, and operated oil and gas wells. I was involved is all aspects from capital management, project acquisitions, capital management, budgeting and planning, talent and team coordination, interaction with high-net-worth investors and commercial bankers.

I have also worked in supply for companies such as CBRE, Hines, Cousins-Parkway, JLL, and Trammel Crow.

I grew up in New Jersey and became an experienced sailor while crewing for my dad. I have been lucky enough to have raced internationally including transatlantic competition. When I moved to Central Texas, I missed sailing, so I founded the Belton Lake Boat Club and its sailboat racing fleet. I also taught martial arts and have a black belt, so I can protect my sailboat passengers from marauding pirates (or just get some good cardio in).

Other pastimes have included cycling, motorcycling and recreational flying. My dog, Einstein, is a certified Service Dog, and he’s, my buddy. He works with my 95-year-old mother every day. She is blind and he provides her with comfort and protection, she provides him with love.

I have volunteered on MIT’s Enterprise Forums’ ‘New Venture Clinic’ team helping start-up businesses at the Houston Technology Center and of course taking Einstein to various assisted living facilities to share some love and cuteness with the residences.

    "David is an exceptional communicator!"

  • Raving Fan

    "David Brown has made additional efforts to understand the complexities and benefits of my career in order to assure a good client fit, as well as an optimal presentation to the client. In our first attempt, it did not bear fruit, but that had nothing in my opinion to do with David or myself. Some things just do not work out. David followed up regularly and kept me abreast of the progress. He's now discussing other opportunities with me that may be relevant and potentially a good fit. Many Exec Recruiters can fill their client's requirements, but not all of them make an additional concerted effort to frame the candidate optimally. For these efforts, I appreciate and applaud David."
