DAVID M. FISHER

David Fisher brings more than 40 years of experience and a unique background of both public affairs and operations management to his client work.

Prior to entering consulting, David worked at Intel Corporation, serving as a key member of the start-up team for a systems, manufacturing and R&D facility. After several years as the company’s first Washington State public affairs manager, he was promoted to site manager and spent his final seven years with the company in operations. He eventually had responsibility for Intel’s facilities in Washington and Utah, as well as the company’s corporate aviation program, serving 170,000 employee passengers annually.

One of David’s areas of focus is business involvement in education policy, having served as chair of both the Washington Roundtable’s Education Committee and the Partnership for Learning. He was a Governor’s appointee to a member and eventually chair of the state’s nine-member Academic Achievement and Accountability Commission.

Beyond education policy, David has managed a diverse range of issues, projects and people in the corporate, association, and consulting environments. From multi-million dollar campaigns to informal talking points, he strives to bring focus, clarity and impact to the communications process.

David holds a BA degree in Economics and Philosophy from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma. He serves on the board of the YMCA Youth & Government program and is a former board member of Washington Special Olympics.

David and his wife, Terri, live with their dog, Layla, in the Olympia area. He previously served on the boards of Washington YMCA Youth & Government and Washington Special Olympics. Assuming he behaves himself, Terri is still willing to be seen on the golf course with him.
