Meet The Leadership Team
David Kakish, CEO
David holds various technical certifications from vendors such as Microsoft and Cisco as well as a Certified Information System Security Professional (CISSP) designation. As an author, entrepreneur, and IT expert, he is committed to helping RIA firms navigate their way through the world of ever-changing technology and increasingly complex IT environments. David’s fundamental belief is that small and mid-sized firms face the same IT and technical challenges as large enterprises; the only difference is that smaller firms have limited resources. Considering the increasing complexity of IT and compliance regulations, small and mid-sized RIA firms are actively seeking partners that can help them overcome these challenges, which is exactly what RIA WorkSpace aims to achieve.
While not at the office, David enjoys playing sports, especially soccer and basketball. He loves traveling, learning, and spending time with his family. On the weekends, you’ll typically find him busy coaching one of his kids’ sports teams.

He offers extensive experience in developing cloud platforms and is passionate about helping firms adopt and maximize the use of new technologies to improve their business.
When he’s not working, Kal loves playing video games with his kids, learning new technologies, reading computer-related books, working out, and traveling.
