On this episode I chatted with CEO David Woods about his career in business here in Oklahoma City. A career that has taken him all over the world. 

Davids current role is CEO of Magellan Executive Partners. As CEO, David is passionate about helping CEOs and owners grow their organizations, their leaders, and their team. David is an expert in strategic thinking, executive development and key leader 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 experi- ence 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 em- ployees and 140 dealers in 40 countries, the company is the world’s largest manufacturer of under- ground construction equipment.
