Who Is Behind IP?

Meet the Team

David Ford II

Founder - Chief Operating Officer

David Ford II, a California native, but Arizona is where I was raised, and it's truly my home. A Strategy & Business Analytics (RevOps/Sales Ops) operator who turns data into repeatable systems that improve conversion, consistency, and execution. My work sits at the intersection of sales performance and process design—building the dashboards, cadence, and KPI loops teams actually use to perform better week over week.

At Indeed, engineered a Q3–Q4 performance turnaround by implementing structured operating rhythms and measurable coverage loops—driving +112% impact calls, +148% total budgets, and improving close rate by +8 points (41% → 49%), while finishing at 103.2% to plan.

At Insightful Placements, David leads operations and delivery—helping clients offload hiring while keeping quality high. Runs the process end-to-end: sourcing, outreach, initial screening/interviews, shortlist presentations, interview coordination, and offer support—while coordinating background checks and verification steps so clients only meet candidates who are truly qualified. Off the clock, you’ll usually find him weightlifting, hiking, and pushing for the next level—physically and mentally.
