Speaker Bio
David Lee Jensen has spent thirty years as an operator: building companies, scaling a national sales channel to $2.5 billion, and learning what actually moves the needle when the pressure is real.
His #1 bestselling book, The Naked Interview: Hiring Without Regret, led to keynotes at Fortune 50 companies and entrepreneur events worldwide. He's been featured on CNN, Fox News, Forbes, Inc., and Entrepreneur, and wrote the Hiring Guru column for HuffPost.
Grant Cardone calls him the guy who "codified the perfect interview." Arianna Huffington named him "The Hiring Guru." Over 70,000 businesses have been trained through his programs.
On stage, David delivers one thing: frameworks your audience can run on Monday morning, built from real wins, real losses, and thirty years of truth nobody else is telling.
