About Today’s Guest
David Gowel is a U.S. Army veteran turned entrepreneur who is now the CEO of RallyPoint, the world’s largest online military network. Dave began his military career as a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point (’02) and of the US Army Ranger School. He then served two tours in Europe during which he was deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom as an armor platoon leader. Dave's last active duty Army position was serving as an Assistant Professor of Military Leadership at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It was while he was at MIT that he found the value of social media, which led to his cofounding of a consulting firm to help people leverage social media tools more professionally. He authored The Power in a Link: Open Doors, Close Deals, and Change the Way You do Business Using LinkedIn (Wiley 2011) and cofounded software company RockTech to help people use business software better at scale.
