David Butler, Vice President of Innovation and Entrepreneurship for Coca-Cola

David Butler brings over 25 years of experience as an investor,
advisor, designer and brand strategist to his current role as
Vice President of Innovation and Entrepreneurship for
Coca-Cola. Joining the company as its first global head of
design, David successfully led the design-driven turnaround of an
$80M brand, prompting Fast Company to name him a “Master of
Design” and Forbes to elect him to their “Executive Dream
Team.” In his current role, David leads a seed-stage
venturing platform called Coca-Cola Founders, designed to
co-create new, high-growth startups by connecting repeat founders
with some of Coca-Cola’s biggest challenge. In 2015, David
co-authored “Design to Grow: How Coca-Cola Learned to Combine
Scale and Agility (and How You Can Too), a book that Tim Brown
said caused him to "rethink IDEO."
