David Dietrich is Director of Business Intelligence at New Momentum, a leader of Supply Chain Risk Intelligence and Enterprise Brand Intelligence products. He holds an MBA in Marketing while bringing over 20 years of experience in all phases of product lifecycle management. From product creation, to development, to implementation, profitable product management is always at the forefront of David’s philosophy. His leadership in industry is recognized on the value proposition that quality products + superior customer service = prized customers and profitable business.
His modern career started on America's railroads. He began with Safetran Corporation, the world leader in manufacturing railroad crossing and communications equipment. As part of the communications engineering team, he spearheaded a leading role in Total Quality Management integration between the engineering and manufacturing teams. He was solely responsible for organizing, creating and implementing the ISO 9001 software certification for the entire company. His greatest contribution was pioneering the Design for Manufacturing concepts that helped ensure all manufacturing remained profitably on shore.
From 1996 through 2000, David served as Director of Engineering at AQUA Software, a technology systems provider for the travel industry. While at AQUA, he envisioned, built and released 45 products targeted to travel companies whose revenue grossed $50 million + per year. These products are still operating today, interfacing to the world’s five largest commercial databases providing value and lower costs to travelers globally.
Venturing on his own in early 2000, David successfully launched Pernova, a software company focused on providing best-in-class travel operations support systems. Concurrently, David was an adjunct professor at his alma mater, where he taught graduate courses on Internet E-Commerce. He successfully harvested Pernova in 2001 through a sale to CNG Hotels, an Irish multinational firm.
David then served as Chief Technology Officer at HXXD, a Beijing based, Chinese multinational firm focused on homeland security. At HXXD, David pioneered the design, manufacture and implementation of SkyEyes, a facial recognition tool aimed at finding criminals, terrorists, and other persons of interest from real-time video feeds. SkyEyes is actively used daily by Beijing Capitol Airport, transportation centers throughout China, and at strategic Chinese border checkpoints. As a continued testament to David’s international acumen, he is fluent in the culture and language of Mandarin Chinese.
David currently helps to build the world’s best-in-breed enterprise brand protection and supply chain tools at New Momentum. With enterprise risk looming from both the supply-side and the demand-side, he constantly looks for ways to mitigate risk for New Momentum’s clients. From supply chain risk intelligence on the supply-side, to enterprise brand intelligence on the demand-side, David works every day to ensure New Momentum’s clients have the deepest knowledge of risk throughout their organizational value chains.
David currently resides in sunny Southern California with his wife Angela. When not blueprinting new visions, David is actively involved in civic endeavors. David is a trained emergency radio operator and first responder with the Newport Beach Fire Department. He is also an active member of the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) and a proud servant to his local community.
