David Du Pre
David Du Pre built his reputation as a sales leader at Showpad, the Ghent SaaS platform for sales enablement. As VP Sales EMEA at Showpad, he scaled the European sales organization significantly, earning recognition as "a very smart and inspirational sales leader who has excellent people management skills."
After Showpad, David moved into advisory and coaching work, helping B2B tech founders and executives scale their sales organizations. His profile at Vlerick Business School and location in the Ghent Metropolitan Area kept him close to the Belgian startup community.
In 2024, David co-founded Warren alongside Cedric De Vleeschauwer and a founding team drawn from alumni of Showpad, Alan, KBC, Metamaze, Henchman, and Silverfin. Warren focuses on workplace financial wellness, providing employer-sponsored tools to help employees reduce financial stress and build long-term financial security. The company raised EUR 3M in 2024.
David has also mentioned Siska Lannoo as a key contributor to Belgian tech success stories, signaling his familiarity with the broader ecosystem narrative and his engagement with the community beyond his own ventures.
David is the commercial counterpart to Cedric De Vleeschauwer's CEO role at Warren. His track record scaling Showpad's EMEA sales provides strong credibility for Warren's go-to-market execution, particularly given the platform's reliance on employer-side distribution partnerships.
