Dave Reichers
Learning & Development Leader.
I build the systems that help people learn, adapt, and perform through change.
I build learning and development functions from nothing. In my current role at Chromalox ETS, I stood up the company's first enterprise L&D division, supporting thousands of employees across AMER, EMEA, and APAC. Before that I worked on advisor development at LPL Financial, customer enablement at Udemy, and technology adoption at Microsoft.
The through-line is the same in every environment: people perform when they understand the mission, have the right tools, know what good looks like, and feel prepared to act. Most change efforts don't fail because people are unwilling. They fail because nobody built the structure underneath the expectation.
What I Do
Learning & Development Strategy
Building learning functions, operating models, curriculum architecture, onboarding programs, LMS governance, and the connective tissue between training and business priorities.
Enablement
Customer, sales, and internal enablement. Playbooks, role-based learning paths, onboarding journeys, product adoption, and value realization.
Technology Adoption & Readiness
Microsoft 365, ERP, LMS, and SaaS adoption. Getting people to actually change how they work, not just attend the training.
Business Transformation & Change
Change readiness, role impact mapping, manager toolkits, stakeholder alignment, and post-launch reinforcement.
