Dave Doran has a widely based background in international business. He has lived and worked in NYC, Boston and D.C. as well Geneva, Brussels and London. His undergrad in commerce was supplemented by a master’s in economics, as well as an MBA from Harvard Business School.
Dave is as familiar with the nitty gritty detail of start-ups and buy-outs as he is with the minutia and spreadsheets of the financial and investment banking worlds and the rarefied atmosphere and strategic decision making of the executive suite and corner office. He has worked as a CEO, COO, CFO and in various other positions, from his start as a financial analyst on Wall Street. In other words, he has the best of backgrounds in which to set his stories and lots of firepower and flak from the corporate, investment banking and M & A jousting in which he was engaged.
Since retiring from an active day to day role in business, Dave has devoted his time to writing. His belief is that there is a dearth of true to life stories set in a modern corporate environment. He is using his background and experience in a series of novels that will highlight the intrigue, corruption and power plays that can take place in high places and corporate settings, resulting in wins, losses and wipe outs for a stable of interesting characters.
Readers have told him that they enjoy these themes.
Dave presently lives with his wife and family in Dublin.
