Dave Close has been leading communications campaigns in the technology industry since 1981. During the early 1980s, he was a writer and editor at World Information Systems, Inc. He researched and wrote stories for industry newsletter Electronics Insight and contributed sections on manufacturing, transportation, computing and energy to The Science Almanac.
In 1983, Dave joined Digital Equipment Corporation and for the next 11 years he held a series of positions as a group communications manager and executive speechwriter. During his time with Digital, he led communications teams handling advertising, PR and writing in the personal computers, workstations and UNIX organizations.
Dave joined Schwartz Communications in 1994 as one of the first senior-level executives in the then-fledgling agency. Throughout his career as Schwartz, he has led more than 60 client teams, created and directed the agency’s “Schwartz College” training program and led the agency’s new business efforts. He also serves as mentor and advisor for several agency vice presidents. Dave also serves as the general manager of the agency’s Waltham, Massachusetts office.
Dave is one of the agency’s resident experts on manufacturing technologies, energy/utilities and environmental technology, open source software, aviation and transportation, compliance and business ethics. He is the leader of the healthcare information technology practice group and the government relations group.
Dave continues to lead client teams, creating PR strategies and helping his teams generate media results. He is known for ghostwriting bylines and “think pieces” for his clients’ executives and has won several awards for this work. In his role as “brain trust” advisor, Dave also provides insight and advice to a variety of clients beyond his direct assignments.
A life-long avid cyclist, Dave bicycles more than 5,000 miles per season and has been progressing through his goal list to ride up the highest mountains in New England. He is married with two children and lives in Sudbury, Mass.
