About David Hannaway

Commercially astute Marketing & Financial Services Leader with 15+ years of proven success in building, scaling, and monetizing businesses.

My Journey

I'm a commercially astute Marketing & Financial Services Leader with a proven track record of building, scaling, and monetizing businesses across financial services, education, and insurance sectors. As founder and former CEO of Dynasty Risk & Wealth Services—one of the largest independent insurance brokerages in the region—I've built high-performance sales cultures, led large teams, and consistently exceeded aggressive growth targets.

My approach combines strategic thinking with hands-on execution. I'm equally comfortable in boardroom decision-making and frontline deal closing. With 15+ years across financial services, higher education leadership, and entrepreneurship, I've developed deep expertise in sales leadership, business growth, client acquisition, and team transformation.

Today, I'm passionate about sharing what I've learned with professionals and organizations ready to unlock their full potential. Whether you're looking to boost sales performance, develop leadership skills, build high-performance teams, or gain financial confidence, I'm here to guide you through your transformation.
