Sir David of Lee

Who I am

My name is Dave Lee. I am currently the VP, Head of Digital at TBWA \ Chiat \ Day \ Boston (formerly MullenLowe US).

I currently lead a multidisciplinary team of 10+ digital professionals, including Developers, QA Specialists, Experience Designers, and Content Strategists. As a hands-on manager, I balance leadership with technical execution, helping remove roadblocks, guide architecture decisions, and support the team wherever needed. Throughout my career, I've overseen the successful launch of more than 70 digital projects while building a culture centered on trust, collaboration, and individual project ownership rather than micromanagement.

I enjoy solving complex technical problems just as much as helping people grow. Whether I'm reviewing code, designing cloud infrastructure, or collaborating across other departments, my goal is always the same: help the team succeed and leave every project better than I found it.
