About Dave

An operator first.
A builder of teams and systems.

Dave Cantu works at the intersection of people, process, and performance in multi-location retail. His focus is practical: help leaders run the work, help departments hand off the customer, and make the operating rhythm easier to see and improve.

01

The problems I work on

Sales execution, parts and service, inventory, P&L discipline, leadership development, system rollouts, and the customer experience between them.

02

The philosophy

A good plan only matters when the team can run it. That means clear goals, visible ownership, useful measures, and coaching close to the work.

03

The work in practice

From store visits and coaching conversations to SOPs, scorecards, and cross-functional handoffs, the aim is consistent execution that holds up on a busy Saturday.
