Founder & CEO | CEO Risk Discipline™
David built ElMaeXtro to externalize an executive risk function for organizations that do not have internal CRO or GRC capacity. ElMaeXtro runs the CEO Risk Discipline—discovering, framing, and tracking business risk so the CEO engages only at decision touchpoints.
The work is board-level by design: business impact, clear options, disciplined continuity, and evidence of decisions—without shifting operational burden onto the CEO.
