David Shear
President, Co-founder
As the president of SheerID, David Shear oversees the day to day operation of sales, business development and new group database acquisition. A SheerID co-founder, David developed and is implementing an aggressive market expansion plan that targets online retailers who need to verify students and quickly pivots to offer verification services for association members, military families, corporate employees, union members and government employees.
In his former life, David directed and managed a manufacturer’s efforts to gain retail shelf space for their new products. David’s market instincts and aggressive sales strategy landed product placement with retail giants like Costco, Target, Sam’s Club, Office Depot, Office Max, and Staples, resulting in enormous year-over-year sales growth during a period of overall slumping retail sales.
