Dave is a customer experience consultant, helping you create experiences your customers canât wait to tell Mom about over Sunday brunch (or FaceTime).
Even in the stodgy world of B2B, where we all pretend to be emotionless corporate robots, your customers are still beautiful, proud, slightly-neurotic humans who will shake out the corporate piggy banks for more Mom-worthy experiences.
Daveâs proudest moments on a project involved flying 4,768 miles, driving hundreds more, and surviving a high-speed Uber ride down Bourbon Street to collect âVoice of the Customerâ feedback for a B2B SaaS company. Using that insight, he transformed the customer support experience and made the company $991k in annual recurring revenue.
He won the 2020 North American Customer Centricity Award for that project, a chunky black mini-monolith he still uses as a bookend to hold up his dog-eared copy of Matt Dixonâs Effortless Experience.
Dave lives in Grapevine, Texas, with his lovely wife and three adorable screaming children. Heâs hiked eleven National Parks and has fifty-two more to go.
Topics:
- Customer Experience (CX)
- Leadership (Leading By Influence, Emotional Intelligence)
- Curiosity (Lifelong learning, developing super-powers)

Dan Hooper is the Founder & Executive Director at ScholarShot. ScholarShot was founded in 2009 by concerned business professionals, educators and community volunteers who saw numerous well-meaning college advisement and âaccessâ programs failing at-risk students. In Texas, 9 out of 10 of these students who get into college drop out.

Leveraging the success of the ScholarShot model, our Degree Dallas Campaign is on track to produce 500 first generation college degrees from Dallas County.
