David Walters is the founder and CEO of Steam Powered Marketing. David and his team help business owners maximize the valuation of their company for a high payout exit.

Over 98% of business exits are for zero value. This is a tragedy as 60% of business owners start their company with the plan to sell their business to fund their retirement and for most business owners 85% of their net worth is in their business. David and his team help business owners with the goal of a 10x increase in exit value within 2 years.

Prior to starting Steam Powered Marketing, David was an Executive Officer Nuclear Submarine Disposal Group (Devonport) and Weapons Engineer Officer in the UK before working in nuclear emergency-related roles and crisis management types roles.
