Founder's Bio and Blog

David M. Sherr

In the Fall of 2004, David founded New Global Enterprises which is dedicated to assisting individuals and firms to profit in the change and complexities of modern markets and technologies. Since leaving Wachovia in January of 2008, he has been doing data center optimization through predictive modeling and analysis and remediation of infrastructure and business architecture. At Wachovia, David was VP Technology Products Group responsible for aligning the new technology infrastructure to the various business systems of the Corporate and Investment Bank with an emphasis on securing the access to systems. Additionally, he mentored the young technology managers in this 80+ person group. Prior to Wachovia, from August 2004 to April 2007, he designed and promoted a cross selling platform for retail banking and brokerage sales with a focus on face-face experience design. Additionally he provided architectural advisory services to Firemen's Fund and Juniper Networks. At Charles Schwab, David ran advanced technology for five years from May of 1999 to July of 2004. In this period, Schwab ATG delivered production grade enhancements for eight of 26 innovations where the usual success rate is considered good at 1 in 10.
In September 1987, David joined the North American Investment Bank of Citicorp as VP Decision Support in Public Finance. From there, he joined Shearson Lehman Hutton in May 1989 and delivered state-of-the-art OTC Equities Trading Station, an Institutional Sales System, an Equity Block Trading System, converted systems from and retired Wang Systems for Equity Research and finished as head of Network Applications for the Investment Bank of Lehman Brothers in 1993-94 In August 1994, David joined JP Morgan's Corporate Technology Group as a senior architect creating a client communications strategy, a legacy wrapping strategy and a rebuilding analysis for the custody business which was sold to Bank of New York, in part, as a result of the pricing of the technology update. At JP Morgan, he was part of the group that put Risk Metrics on the Web in August 1995, thus creating a new market for risk analytics. From March-November 1996, he ran global software development for a dispatch and a customer interaction software firm. In 1997-99, David consulted on large scale print production systems with a focus on financial reporting for brokerages and mutual funds as well as re-engineering a Citicorp subsidiary's portfolio management system maintained for institutional and private clients. It was then that he was recruited to run advanced technology and co-head enterprise architecture at Schwab Technology Services.

David's experience is broad and deep. He has significant knowledge of health care planning and administrative systems in the 70's from post doctoral consulting on decision-making in the emergency system in Philadelphia and community service work when he served on the board of the Health Systems Agency of SE PA. David holds a PhD in Computer and Information Sciences from the University of Pennsylvania. Since 2005, he has been a Wharton Fellow.
