Who We Are
Dave Allison
Business Coach and Facilitator
(937) 669-6561
As a Business Coach, Dave helps Aileron community members answer the big-picture question: What’s next? He brings to Aileron decades of experience helping large corporations like Honda and BF Goodrich answer that question through leadership positions in engineering, packaging, procurement, and international relations.
Dave is known for his relatable coaching style; he’s quick to lean on his business experience – and its many ups and downs – to empathize with his clients. He’s situationally motivational, easily meeting people where they’re at emotionally to support them when and how they need it. And he’s tenacious; he’s known for being the person who will take on the hardest problems and face them with unrelenting energy and resolve.
When he’s not supporting business leaders as they plan for the future, Dave enjoys playing volleyball, competing in triathlons, and rating golf courses for Golf Digest.
What’s something you’re constantly striving to get better at?
“Self-reflection and self-development; professionally I’ve done a lot, but on a personal level, there’s always room to improve and do better.”
What are the values that drive you?
“I value being helpful, courteous, and kind. I find that a little act of kindness can make a big difference, even if you don’t know it.”
Why Aileron?
“I chose Aileron because I wanted to make a big impact helping several organizations rather than being a leader at a single one. That’s what drives me – making an impact on people’s lives.”
