David Huffner is the President of Avid Learner, Inc. Before co-founding the company in 1999, he spent ten years as a Senior Consultant for Development Dimensions International, one of the top talent management consultancies in the world.

David’s consulting and research place him in frequent and close contact with emerging leaders, star performers, and those who aspire to star performance in the workplace.
