– Brad Bradley – VP Operations at Mechanical Services & Design at MSD, Inc
Here at MSD Dave has worked with our Leadership Team for several months and the progress and outcomes have far exceeded our expectations. The work that we have accomplished would of taken us a few years rather than several months with Sinkhorn Management. Dave is not a consultant that comes in to your Team and just starts giving you the answers or goals you should hit. He works with your team and pushes them to think outside the box and is an expert on making sure everyone remains focused and out of the weeds. His assistance, guidance, and tools he shared recreated our meeting environment and we now have meetings in half the time which are also much more productive and goal driven.
I have worked with several Business Consultants over the years and the Value that Dave brought to the table with our Team is an Awesome experience! He helped bring the Team together and strategize at a much higher level.
If you’re looking for change or looking for your Team to have new energy and get excited I highly recommend you give Dave a call!

I met Mr. Sinkhorn in late 2014. He was one of three business advisors Mechanical Systems of Dayton and the owner John Stewart became acquainted with through a professional community of entrepreneurs guiding us in enhancing our Professional Management System within our organization. We had the opportunity to consult with him on various topics to enhance our business (and personal) skills.
Dave worked with our Senior Leadership Team in this capacity through early 2020 until he ventured out with his own company, Sinkhorn Management. We continue to consult with him to this date. He has provided insight, evaluation, and strategic, value-based guidance to the Team, while providing and assisting us with a roadmap to future growth and profitability. We now have an enhanced skill set to continue to take our company forward.
Our Team also has his confidence in individual coaching and mentoring sessions of which we participate. I have found this very helpful and feel one could always find a way to improve and learn. The confidentiality of these individualized coaching opportunities is invaluable.
During my acquaintance with Dave, I have come to know we share common business and personal values and ethics. His professionalism, knowledge, and experience have professional and personally been fantastic. He has my highest recommendation.
