Leadership
David Catherman, our CEO/CTO/CIO/CISM, began his IT career in 1999 by founding an IT consulting firm for small and midsize businesses in Seattle. The firm quickly grew to serve over 120 clients. After selling the firm in 2007, David launched Digital Stream in 2009. Over the next 17 years, he worked as an executive IT leader in healthcare, hospitality, and tech industries, developing comprehensive technology services.
In 2024, recognizing the need for enterprise-level IT support among small and midsize businesses, David relaunched Digital Stream. “Our passion is bring CTO-level services to organizations that can’t afford a full-time executive, providing tailored strategies and best practices to support and transform their technology landscapes.”
