About Me

I’m D.A. (David Anthony) Abrams — a best-selling author, transformational C-suite executive, and nationally recognized thought leader whose work sits at the intersection of leadership, diversity, equity & inclusion, organizational strategy, and personal development. With more than 30 years of progressive leadership experience across mission-driven and complex, multi-stakeholder enterprises, I bring a rare combination of strategic vision, operational excellence, and authentic storytelling to every endeavor.

Today I serve as Chief Operating Officer of Groundswell, Inc., a national 501(c)(3) clean energy organization building community power through equitable solar, resilience centers, and pioneering research. I’m also the Founder & CEO of Wingdale Harbors LLC, the parent holding entity for my digital ecosystem of published works, proprietary frameworks, and SaaS products. Previously, I led a distinct business unit of the CFP Board as Managing Director of its Center for Financial Planning (2019–2022), and served as enterprise-wide Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer for the United States Tennis Association (2012–2019).

As a published author of six books — and contributor to a seventh — I write with the conviction that purposeful leadership and inclusive excellence are not abstract ideals but practical, measurable disciplines. I hold a Master of Management & Administration (MMA) from Metropolitan State University, a B.S. in Business Administration (Accounting) from Millersville University of Pennsylvania, and the Certified Association Executive (CAE) credential.
