About Me

David J. Ramos is a mission-driven technology executive, entrepreneur, and change agent passionate about building and scaling businesses that others say can't be done. Throughout his career, he has led high-impact transformations across Fortune 500 companies, growth-stage startups, and purpose-driven ventures. As a fractional CTO, CPO, and advisor, David partners with leadership teams to align technology strategy with business vision, modernize platforms, build high-performing teams, and drive sustainable growth. As the founder of StretchLab FirstCoast, he brings the same conviction to the wellness industry—reimagining employee well-being through personalized services. Previously, David served as CTO at Tivly, where he saved $5M through operational improvements, launched the company's first AI-based workflows, achieved SOC 2 certification, and helped drive $15M in revenue growth. At Seven Bridges, he led a platform modernization that enabled an oversubscribed Series C and successful acquisition. Earlier, at Aetna (CVS Health), David co-pitched and secured $250M in board funding to launch a cloud-native digital health platform powered by machine learning. David also built the big data analytics platform at LinkShare that positioned the company for a $450M acquisition by Rakuten, where he later drove global data strategy initiatives in partnership with Domo (then in stealth mode). Known for scaling innovation with intention, David leads by blending strategic clarity, operational excellence, and a deep commitment to building cultures that empower people.
