What It Takes to Lead Through Disruption, and Build What Comes Next
When markets disappear and companies face extinction, most leaders react. Few rebuild. In THE 24/7 CEO, David J. Moore shares the real story, and hard-won playbook, behind navigating collapse, reinvention, and long-term growth.
David J. Moore made history by commanding his digital advertising company through the dot-com crash and into an acquisition valued at over half a billion dollars. Now, he’s helping leaders navigate their own existential threats, reinvent their companies, and emerge stronger on the other side with proven strategies that support long-term growth.
The 24/7 CEO
A firsthand account of survival, reinvention, and one of the most unlikely comebacks in digital history.
At its peak, 24/7 Media reached a $1.8 billion market cap. Then, almost overnight, the dot-com crash erased everything. The company’s stock fell from $68 to $.09 cents. Bankruptcy loomed.
The 24/7 CEO tells the inside story of what happened next, how Moore navigated the collapse, rebuilt the business from the ground up, and led it to a $649 million acquisition.
More than a memoir, it’s a leadership playbook for moments when the rules break: how to make decisions under pressure, rebuild trust, and position a company for what comes after crisis.
