Dr. David Swanagon — CEO
I am an entrepreneur, patent developer, senior advisor for HR, AI, and Digital Transformation, and professor. My research interests focus on the intersection between physics, information theory, human capital, and applied mathematics. I am keenly focused on helping society solve the data gravity crisis by finding innovative ways to optimize data transmission, processing, and storage. I am also a believer in deterministic physics. I agree with Einstein that "God doesn't play dice" and believe probabilities simply reflect incomplete proofs. In my advisory engagements, I help organizations improve their AI adoption and workforce readiness, while optimizing the enterprise technology roadmap and governance. I have worked as a senior leader or consultant for multiple Fortune organizations, which included assignments in the US, Middle East, India, and Asia Pacific. My background includes director- and executive-level leadership roles at Ericsson, Saudi Aramco, and PPG. I have also served as a senior advisor for Trellix Cyber Security, Petro Rabigh, and Luberef refineries. Across these roles, I partnered closely with executive leadership teams on workforce strategy, organizational design, technology optimization, and leadership effectiveness. I am the Founder of Theorem 46 and Chief Editor of the Machine Leadership Journal. Theorem 46 is a deep-technology company building a new computational foundation based on original mathematics known as Relational Lysis. I am the creator of Relational Lysis theory, a deterministic geometric framework that resolves intrinsic structure in complex systems at the point of ingestion, enabling exact reconstruction and computation without the need to operate on raw data. The work spans mathematics, theoretical physics, and computing infrastructure, with formal results addressing foundational limits in information theory, memory-bound architectures, and large-scale computation. I also serve as a part-time Professor, teaching analytics and organizational behavior. My work has been published by leading academic and industry institutions (Columbia, Vanderbilt, CapGemini, CIPD, Forbes), and I regularly contribute to global forums on analytics, leadership, and transformation. I am open to senior advisory, board, and interim executive roles where enterprise judgment, AI fluency, and transformation experience are required.
