David Whitaker - President & Chief Executive Officer, GMCVB
Hailing from the Napa Valley of Onions, Vidalia, Georgia, David Whitaker joins us over a glass of Bendersky Reserve Scotch to share his remarkable journey.
David first arrived in Miami in the 1980s, where his introduction to the city was anything but smooth. He was mugged at gunpoint his first Friday in town, and then carjacked the following week. Undeterred, he stayed, built his career, and eventually rose to become the President & CEO of the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau. We get into the growth of the city, and how he is marketing our city to the rest of the world.
Along the way, David held leadership roles in Chicago and Toronto, served on the executive staff of the United Way of Miami-Dade, and earned his bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication & Public Relations from the University of South Florida.
