David Carter
President, Business Development of ZESSE Power Systems
The ZESSE Power System is resident in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. I started my military career as a Royal Canadian Navy Communications operator and after 35 years of Leadership and Management I worked myself up through the ranks to retire as a Captain Aerospace Engineer. Of my time in the Military service I have a combined eight years experience as a Project Manager conducting Test & Evaluations of Fixed and Rotary wing aircraft systems. I had also been an instructor for six years instructing aircrew on Nuclear Submarine propulsion systems and Radar technology. After retirement, my wife and I became a small business owner where we turned around a business from last in sales in a district of 13 like stores, to become number one in sales in a period of five years. I believe I have the experience and business acumen to manage and operate this new business as the Owner/CEO.
