David S Kidder - IGNITING RESILIENT GROWTH

The pace of change isn’t slowing. Complexity is compounding. Pressure is rising.

The most successful leaders don’t react to uncertainty. They define it—transforming pressure into performance, decisions into momentum, and uncertainty into advantage. They don’t just adapt to change.
‍
They build the systems that make growth inevitable.

Resilient growth isn’t chance. It’s designed. The leaders, teams, and companies that win ignite it from the inside out—permanently.

For decades, I’ve worked with Fortune 500 executives, high-growth founders, and elite teams to unlock transformational growth—not by chance, but by systematic design.

Meet David

For over two decades, I’ve worked with CEOs, founders, and executive teams to Ignite Resilient Growth—unlocking growth, accelerating decisions, and transforming volatility into momentum.

I am a seasoned entrepreneur, investor, and systems designer with a track record of building, scaling, and investing in breakthrough companies.

I’ve successfully exited four startups and invested in 100+ companies, including SpaceX, Palantir, Airbnb, and Vitalyze.

I’ve built and launched three venture-backed SaaS startups—most recently as co-founder and CEO of Bionic, the growth service company that developed The GrowthOS™, a systems-driven model for repeatable, scalable growth.
‍
Growth isn’t just the outcome. Growth is a state.
‍
The highest-performing leaders don’t just adapt—they design the systems that make discovering, adapting and capturing growth inevitable— permanently.
‍
I don’t offer theoretical industry expertise or ideas—they are already in you. I offer systems of thinking, execution, and transformation—so you can unlock from within and lead with conviction into certainty in an uncertain world.

The Work

SYSTEMS

Most leaders know where they want to go. Few have a system to make it inevitable.

For decades, I’ve built systems that remove friction, sharpen focus, and turn conviction into unstoppable execution.

Breakthroughs don’t happen in isolation.

COACHING

The most successful leaders don’t react to uncertainty. They define and transform it into momentum. You’re been tasked to make high-stakes decisions, move at high speed, and align multiple competing inside and outside forces— and those above (i.e. your board of directors).
