Dave Maney is the Founder/CEO of Deke Digital LLC, a Colorado-based provider of content-driven digital and social marketing & lead generation services serving solely financial services-related clients. He began his career as a journalist and eventually became the Assistant to the President of the Newspaper Division at the San Francisco Chronicle Publishing Company. He did merger & acquisition work in the newspaper and cable TV industries before entering the operating side of the cable business, with a growing focus on the technology end of the broadband world. He founded Worldbridge Broadband Services Inc. in 1994, which merged with C-COR Inc. in 2000. He jumped into the financial services world in 2001, co-founding Headwaters MB LLC, a middle market merchant bank (which was just named Investment Bank of the Year for 2014 by M&A Advisor).
In 2008 he became a frequent contributor to Fox News and the Fox Business Network covering the Main Street effects of the Wall Street meltdown, and in 2011 he launched his "Economic Revolution" column in the Denver Post and later at Forbes.com. He founded Deke Digital that same year to bring sophisticated content-driven digital and social marketing services specifically tailored to firms that sell high-end financial services.
He is a graduate of the State University of New York at Binghamton, holds an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business, and remains a frequent national media commentator on the information-soaked economic future.
He lives in Colorado with his six kids, four dogs, and one wife, and pretends to be both a rancher and an NHL goalie on the weekends.
