Dave Wirta

Chief Executive Officer

I’m thrilled to be back at Community Brands and serving as the Chief Executive Officer. Having served previously as the company’s Chief Operating Officer, and then President, I have a deep understanding of the business – Community Brands is comprised of extremely passionate team members who are delivering a unique value proposition to the customers we serve. Our employees have a personal connection to the mission of our customers, and it drives their perseverance and dedication to serving them well. The breadth and depth of products and services truly make us the leader in serving the purpose-driven market with tech-focused solutions.

Having led other technology companies throughout my career, I can see just how transformative technology can be to entire sectors, revolutionizing business models and advancing industry growth. One consistent theme throughout my career has been transformation – whether it’s the marketplace that’s transforming or the business. To lead transformation, we must continually refine our strategy and innovation to offer the best products available to organizations that are making the world a better place.

My leadership style is analytical, and data driven, and I operate with a bias to action. I’m highly results-orientated; I set goals and hold myself and my team accountable. I don’t view anything as being below me – I’m willing to roll up my sleeves and get involved. I’m also loyal and unified in my approach. I believe one of my biggest responsibilities as a leader is to develop those around me, to help others accomplish their professional goals and aspirations.

Chief Financial Officer

Over the course of my 20-year career, I have worked for companies such as GE Capital, Comdata, Stream Global Services, SourceHov, Mortgage Contracting Service and BakerCorp. In May of 2021, I took on the CFO role at Community Brands to help Finance and Accounting improve controls, reporting, and business support.

Since joining Community Brands, the most rewarding part has been connecting with our brands and understanding the impact on their communities.

My approach to finance is driven by a desire to help businesses and people grow in their careers.

Chief Technology Officer

I have been at Community Brands since day one and it has been a fantastic and humbling journey to witness our associates and customers grow together and drive like-minded work around the world. It sounds cliché, but I truly believe that the practical application of technology is world-changing for our customers and for their missions, and as a result, Community Brands is a great place to be.

As the CTO, my teams consistently work inside of the confluence of people and technology, and I believe the key to success in that space is a learning mind-set. Over the course of my 30+ year career, I’ve had a front row seat to plenty of successes and failures – each and every one of them has been a learning opportunity. I’m convinced that the single most important thing to get right in solution-oriented organizations is the concept of continual learning. And you will find that learning culture alive and well across our teams at Community Brands.

President – Associations and Events

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about me. I have spent the last 20 years of my career as a part of software companies delivering solutions and services to customers.

For me, it is my personal passions though that brought me to Community Brands. I have been a member of veteran and automotive associations my entire career and I have helped launch a charity supporting the families and spouses of veterans as well as first responders.

What we do here is more than a profession. Most of our team is here because we believe in the mission of our customers, and we want to be a bigger part of the greater good using our skills and talents in business.

I love what I do and hope one day we can share a conversation!

My career as General Counsel at Community Brands and other companies has afforded unique opportunities to work with, and understand, issues involving technology, finance, operations and other salient aspects of these businesses.
