David Orischak, a Partner at Penn Valley Group, brings thirty years of experience in both corporate and entrepreneurial businesses. From strategy to planning to execution, Dave has an established track record of successfully growing businesses. His clients rely on his judgment and the practical application of his knowledge to assist with planning, funding and executing their business strategies.
Prior to joining Penn Valley Group, Dave established a successful business advisory practice located in Hilton Head Island, SC. This practice focused on providing a variety of transactional and advisory services to mid-market companies. Over the past two years, Dave helped clients land more than $50 million in growth and acquisition capital.
Dave has been successfully raising capital for businesses since 1985 when he financed the growth capital for PC Concepts, a training and software development company he co-founded. Dave planned for and managed the execution of an aggressive growth strategy for PC Concepts that culminated with the sale of the company to Ziff-Davis in 1991.
Much of Dave’s success is a direct result of his ability to draw on eight years of experience at IBM. While there, he worked in a number of progressively more responsible sales and marketing positions in the Philadelphia Region.
In addition, Dave served as President of Environmental Plasma Arc Technology, where he completed the successful restructuring of company operations and brought the quarterly reporting to current status. This allowed the public company to regain trading rights on the NASDAQ.
Dave earned a BS in Economics from Wilkes University and is a member of Omicron Delta Epsilon, an international honor society in Economics.
