3DavePhotoNiceDotsub has promoted Dave Bryant to president and has appointed him to the Board of Directors. In his expanded role, Dave will provide leadership and guidance in corporate strategy as Dotsub continues its path of growth in the language services industry as well as continuing to run the day to day business.

Dave has been with Dotsub for six years and has served as its COO for the past three. He will retain his COO title and responsibilities.  Dave helped build the growing team at Dotsub and was responsible for the conceptualization and development of Dotsub’s next generation Video Translation Management platform. He will also directly oversee Dotsub’s finance and product management functions.

Dave earned a degree in Computer Science from the University of Easy Anglia in the UK. He later moved to Plymouth University, where he ran the University Computer Center while receiving a graduate qualification in Business Administration.

Subsequently, he moved to the USA, taking a position at a Fortune 500 computer manufacturer. After that, he worked at early stage software companies, one of which he built from zero revenue to over $40M. Along the way he had the pleasure of being involved in two IPOs and a corporate buyout.

Dave lives in Brooklyn, NY with his wife and close to his daughter and her family, where he attends music concerts, plays golf and is an attentive member of the NYC food scene when he is not working.
