Dave Martin
Dave is the founder of Confidence In, author of the Amazon bestseller The Product Momentum Gap, and creator of the CALM Leadership method, built specifically for product and engineering leaders who think differently. He's worked with leaders at GitLab, Adobe, Snyk, and over a hundred tech companies from Series A to enterprise, helping leaders earn strategic influence without burning out or pretending to be someone they're not. His work is evidence-based, practically ruthless, and built for the real world, not the leadership textbook version of the world where everyone's aligned, puts the company first, is well-intentioned, and pays attention.
