David Childress
Executive Master's · USC Price School of Public Policy
David leads our workplace investigations after three decades conducting investigations and interviews where the stakes were about as high as they get. He knows how to run a structured interview, how to handle evidence so the chain holds, and how to stay neutral in a way that stands up to scrutiny later — harassment, discrimination, retaliation, workplace violence, all of it.
