Kyle David

Chief Technology Officer

Recognized as “the real deal,” by Donald Trump, Kyle David (Kappel) has been a lifelong entrepreneur and leading expert in the IT industry. At the age of 14, a young Kyle was able to dazzle the management of a multi-million-dollar Philadelphia-area IT firm and upgraded his employment from a paperboy to a staff consultant. In short time, he was working with clients – from major banks to Fortune 50 companies to university hospitals. After a four-year tenure, the attraction of the Internet came calling.

An early adopter to the concept of affiliate marketing, Kyle pioneered the idea of "price scraping," which offered customers the ability to search for the best price among competitors, an unheard of concept in the mid-1990s. Over the course of two years, he partnered with some of the largest online retailers at the time, including eToys, Amazon, and CDNOW.

With his IT knowledge and experience in high demand, he focused his work on systems design and software development, and, in 2002, he formed The Kyle David Group. Since then, he has won power-attorney Robert Shapiro's LegalZoom Entrepreneur Spotlight Award for outstanding business conduct and integrity. He has also been recognized as one of the top 20 business leaders under the age of 40 by the Eastern Pennsylvania Business Journal. In 2008, he was honored by becoming a finalist for candidacy of NBC’s The Apprentice. He is a regular speaker domestically and internationally on topics ranging from search marketing to creative problem solving.

Kyle holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Muhlenberg College, a Strategic Management certificate from Cornell University, and is currently pursuing a Juris Doctorate.
