His career path has taken some dramatic but logical turns as Dave Denz has progressed from a Peace Corps Volunteer to Consumer Packaged Goods marketer (Quaker Oats/Pepsico) to Advertising Exec (LD&A and Marketing Alternatives) to Learning & Development entrepreneur (Illumen and Leieren LLC). Today as a principle in Leieren, Dave unleashes a varied and unique combination of skills and experience in helping organizations transform their approach to employee development.
Since helping start Leieren in 2007, Dave has assisted organizations operating in evolving data-driven markets, like Blue Cross Blue Shield, Zimmer Biomet, Berkshire Hathaway and Northwestern University, use data analytics to better understand the challenges and needs of their employees while counter-balancing it with the creative and soft skills required for effective communications. The combination has provided organizations with a single-source solution built around solid experience in traditional skills that are continually updated to meet constantly changing norms.
