David Ligthart

Founder, Lightheart Tech

David Ligthart founded Lightheart to help product and platform teams move faster without losing senior technical judgment, release discipline, or accountability.

He works directly with clients on scope, decision cadence, and delivery oversight so important choices stay visible and owned.

What clients can expect

  • Direct access to the founder during vendor evaluation, scoping, and key delivery decisions.
  • Senior oversight on architecture, release quality, and transfer-ready handover.
  • A compact operating model where accountability stays visible instead of disappearing into layers.

What David leads

David stays close to the work where senior judgment matters most: framing the outcome, challenging delivery tradeoffs, and keeping releases grounded.

  • Defining the outcome, scope boundaries, and decision cadence with clients.
  • Reviewing delivery tradeoffs before they turn into release risk.
  • Keeping handover, documentation, and operating clarity part of the engagement.
