David Fano — CEO
I’ve worked with tens of thousands of professionals on their careers—whether as a hiring manager, senior executive, founder, or now through Teal, where we’ve helped over 3 million people grow their careers with confidence. From reviewing resumes to building hiring systems, I’ve seen every side of the job search—and I’m on a mission to make it more transparent, equitable, and empowering. That’s why I started Teal in early 2020. We’re building a career growth platform that uses AI and modern technology to simplify the job search, personalize the experience, and give individuals the same tools companies use to manage talent. We’ve helped people land new roles, negotiate raises, and gain clarity in their career paths—at scale. With over 20 years as a technology practitioner and entrepreneur, I’ve led across product and service businesses, from B2B enterprise to consumer applications. I co-founded CASE, later acquired by WeWork, where I held executive roles including Chief Product Officer and Chief Growth Officer. I helped scale global operations—opening over 2 million square feet of space per month, often at 60–80% occupancy—and built products and teams that touched every part of the business. Throughout my career, I’ve built productivity tools, physical products, and large-scale consumer search experiences. I’ve hired thousands of people and shaped the policies and systems behind how companies build culture and grow talent. Now, with Teal, I’m bringing that expertise to individuals. If you want practical, honest insights on job searching, resumes, and how AI is transforming the way we work—follow me here on LinkedIn.
