Leadership Built Through Real-World Experience David Young, MBCP, CEM, PMP, LSSBB Founder and Principal Consultant Bravantis Consulting is led by David Young, a nationally recognized business continuity and organizational resilience professional with more than 26 years of experience helping complex organizations prepare for disruption, protect critical operations, and recover with confidence. David’s career includes 20 years of service in the United States Air Force, followed by senior leadership and advisory roles supporting aviation, advanced manufacturing, energy, transportation, public safety, government, and critical infrastructure. His work spans enterprise business continuity, operational resilience, emergency management, crisis leadership, integrated operations centers, business impact analysis, risk governance, executive exercises, and major organizational transformation. Throughout his career, David has worked at the intersection of strategy and operations. He has designed and strengthened resilience programs for large, highly regulated organizations; advised executive leaders during complex risk and continuity initiatives; developed integrated operations and emergency coordination models; and translated enterprise risk into practical, measurable capabilities. His approach is grounded in real-world execution rather than theoretical compliance. David understands that a plan has little value unless people can use it under pressure, leaders can make informed decisions quickly, and critical operations can continue when systems, facilities, suppliers, or personnel are disrupted. Through Bravantis Consulting, David brings that experience directly to organizations seeking practical solutions, clear governance, stronger preparedness, and resilient operations.
