The Book On Strategic Obsession

David Webb is a seasoned entrepreneur and business leader with more than three decades of experience at the intersection of technology, finance, and services. As the founder and CEO of multiple ventures-some celebrated successes and some hard-learned failures-he has cultivated a reputation for turning complexity into clarity, driving growth, and leading organizations through periods of both turbulence and transformation. His career has been defined by a willingness to take calculated risks, embrace innovation, and pursue opportunities others often overlook. David's debut book, Life Unscripted: What You Should Have Learned in High School, distilled years of professional and personal experience into a practical guide for navigating the overlooked realities of adulthood. His second work, The Book On Risk Management in Payments, marked a decisive step into specialized territory, tackling one of the most pressing challenges in global commerce: how to anticipate threats, safeguard trust, and manage risk in a world where money moves faster than regulation. With his third book, The Book On Strategic Obsession: How to Turn Long-Term Thinking Into a Competitive Weapon, David advances his mission even further. Here he explores the discipline of sustained, long-horizon thinking as a defining advantage in leadership and strategy. Drawing from decades at the intersection of leadership, risk, and relentless execution, he challenges readers to rethink strategy-not as a plan on paper, but as an enduring obsession that separates fleeting achievements from lasting success. Beyond writing and business, David remains committed to mentoring entrepreneurs and contributing to community initiatives that promote education, resilience, and personal growth. Whether in boardrooms, classrooms, or in print, his work reflects a consistent theme: empowering others to think critically, act decisively, and build systems that endure.
