Our Vision
3CG was founded on the belief that actual leadership experience combined with an advanced understanding of organizational strategy is the right starting place to help leaders navigate uncertainty and complex challenges.
Services
Consulting
We work alongside leadership teams to diagnose what's impeding progress — strategic, cultural, structural, and human — align on a clear path, and see it through implementation and execution.
Leadership Development
We help leaders navigate complexity, drive change, and perform in an environment where the rules — including those around technology and AI — are being rewritten in real time.
About
David White
David White is Founder and CEO of 3CG Ventures. He works with leaders and organizations at inflection points - navigating transitions, expanding their impact and confronting the moments that define their leadership — and with professionals seeking meaningful career growth.
Most recently, he led the NFL Players Association through a leadership crisis, stabilizing operations and helping the board chart a path forward. Earlier, he led the Screen Actors Guild's historic merger with AFTRA — aligning the senior team, integrating 25 offices, and unifying two distinct cultures. At the close of his tenure, SAG-AFTRA was named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Film and Television Companies (2022).
A Rhodes Scholar and Stanford Law graduate, David has served as Board Chair of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, and as a leader on corporate and nonprofit boards. He has been named Attorney of the Year three times in his career.
He speaks on transformative leadership, sports and entertainment trends, and practical AI for skeptical professionals.
