Dave Horvath leads Fulcrum's Washington, D.C. office, drawing on a background that spans U.S. Cyber Command and U.S. Special Operations Command, service as a Ranger-qualified Field Artillery Officer, Military Intelligence Officer, and Special Operations Officer, and later work at Forterra helping defense buyers adopt autonomy and contested logistics systems—experience that shapes his focus on moving technology from the lab into government programs. Outside of work, he serves on the advisory board and finance committee of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West and is known as a competitive golfer and barbecue pitmaster.
