Dave McDonald
Founder
After nearly two decades helping organizations build, transform, and scale talent functions, I founded Seawolf Executive Search and Talent Advisory to bring that experience to growth-minded companies who wanna build exceptional teams and scale.
I’ve built and led TA teams from scratch across five continents, and that experience now guides every Seawolf engagement, that’s hands-on, practical, no layers. And it’s values driven. Humility, integrity, curiosity. We listen first, do what we say and ask until we understand.
The name Seawolf is personal. As a proud alumnus of N.C. State University, the Wolfpack has always been part of me, and the ocean has always been where I feel most grounded, and together they reflect the firm I wanted to build. I also hold an MBA from Pfeiffer University, which rounds out my talent focus with a business lens. If you’re looking for a talent partner who will approach your search with rigor, care, and a long-term view, let’s hunt for the talent that will help your company win.
