CDS has created a chief operating officer position, and Dave Wuethrich has been promoted to this new role. Dave has been with CDS for 18 years and will now oversee product and service delivery of events.
“Dave is the backbone of our operating structure and will continue working closely with our clients and partners to ensure that we deliver the industry’s highest quality products and services,” said John Kimball, CDS President and CEO. “He is a seasoned and trusted leader who consistently achieves results. His hands-on experience, work ethic, and commitment to our clients, employees, and community will be instrumental to his success in this new role. While this is good news for CDS, it’s even better news for our trusted clients and industry partners.”
Effective immediately, Wuethrich assumes operational responsibility for all aspects of events—from kickoff to post conference—with the goal of partnering with clients to make each event a success. He will work closely with other CDS executives on the product and service delivery strategy and execution.
“As COO, my focus will be to consistently provide our clients with outstanding service and to make collaboration very easy for employees and clients,” said Wuethrich. “We consider CDS employees to be both our greatest asset and best technology. By strengthening business operations, CDS can offer an innovative and seamless event experience to our clients year after year.”
