DAVID KNIES

“To hell with circumstances. I create opportunities.” - Bruce Lee.

I transform disruption into competitive advantage.

For 35 years, I've operated at the cutting edge of the global Innovation Economy—building billion-dollar brands and launching category-defining products. I've architected growth platforms for both Fortune 500 titans and the startups gunning for their market share.

At PA Consulting, I lead our US Research, Insights & Innovation Strategy practice and direct our global work across sports, fitness, wellness, and consumer health. My expertise spans tech, consumer products, healthcare, biopharma, gaming, financial services, and luxury markets.

Beyond corporate innovation, I've guided over 1,000 leaders through career transformation in the Innovation Economy—helping them navigate from "What now?" to "What's next?" This work has evolved into a Career Operating System and Playbook that helps professionals future-proof their trajectory and accelerate to their next level.

This career innovation framework powers the Another Level Project. Through this platform and my Agents of Innovation podcast, I'm scaling these insights to help millions design their professional future. This isn't conventional career advice—it's a battle-tested system for strategic reinvention.

Let's create your next opportunity together.
