Why Focused Teams Perform Better - Ascent Global Logistics, Chief Strategy Officer, David Ross


Listen Later

Why do some teams get results and others struggle? Often it’s focus! Just consider if it's easy to get 10 things done or just one, yet so many leaders split their team’s attention across too many projects.

I host David Ross, Chief Strategy Officer at Ascent Global Logistics, who shares a powerful strategy to focus your team and entire business to generate big results.

David also serves as Executive Vice President at Roadrunner, serves on the Board of Directors of Global Crossing Airlines, and serves as an Advisor to project44.  

Prior to his current roles, Mr. Ross was Managing Director and Group Head of Stifel’s Global Transportation & Logistics.

During his 20-year sell-side analyst career, his awards included ranking #1 in stock picking multiple times in the Wall Street Journal's Best on the Street Analysts Survey and in Financial Times/StarMine America’s Top Analysts report. 

Before joining Stifel in 2005, he worked at Legg Mason, RailWorks, and Deutsche Banc Alex Brown. Mr. Ross received his undergraduate degree from Georgetown University. 

In addition, he serves on the Ubuntu Council for the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project (CTAOP) and on the Board of Directors for The Fountainhead Residency and the Humane Society of Greater Miami.
