About
David Bellini’s journey from a young man in Tampa, Florida, to the helm of some of the most innovative tech companies in the world is one defined by vision, resilience, and community impact. As CEO of CyberFox, a cutting-edge cybersecurity firm, David has led the charge in safeguarding digital assets with state-of-the-art solutions, shaping the way businesses protect their most valuable data.
Born in New York but raised in Tampa, David’s path to success wasn’t immediate. He first pursued an accounting degree from the University of Florida. However, his ambitions extended far beyond numbers and spreadsheets. In 1984, with his brother Arnie, David co-founded ConnectWise—a tech startup that began as a small, local venture but soon transformed into a global powerhouse. Together, they built ConnectWise into a company of over 1,000 employees, known for revolutionizing business management software. Their success story reached a pivotal moment in 2018, when private equity firm Thoma Bravo acquired the company for $1.3 billion.
While David’s business acumen is undeniable, his impact extends beyond corporate boardrooms. In 2014, he was honored as Florida’s Entrepreneur of the Year, not just for his strategic mind, but for his ability to foster innovation and lead teams toward a shared vision. However, David isn’t content with merely building businesses—he is equally committed to building futures. His work on the board of Corbett Preparatory School of IDS reflects his deep belief in education and nurturing the next generation of leaders.
