Meet David and Kris

David grew up in Detroit, the only child in his family. After graduating from high school, David attended Princeton University where he earned his undergraduate degree in Computer Science. He then studied City Planning at The University of California, Berkley. After completing his doctoral degree with a dissertation in the cultural effects if urban planning, David went to work for the Clinton administration’s “Conversations on Race” initiative.

Through the course of his 25 year career as a featured presenter, Dr. David Campt (@thedialogueguy) has helped groups focus on a variety of topics including strategic planning, conflict resolution, creating more inclusive decision-making, leadership succession, cultural competence, and many others. His clients have varied widely and have included: the US military, The White House, large corporations, international organizations, foundations, governments, universities, national associations, and non-profit groups.

David is considered a national expert in the areas of inclusion and equity, stakeholder engagement, and conflict resolution and dialogue. His insights about the keys to more effective institutions and communities have been sought by small executive boards consisting of of fewer than a dozen members to large-scale summits involving thousands of people.  In addition to speaking on these topics to live audiences, he also has numerous media appearances offering an expert perspective. He has appeared on national media outlets as well as local television, radio, and print media all across the United States.

David Campt is also available as a keynote speaker or media expert.
