Professor of Practice Dave Shalaby

Success in business is achieved by seeing and taking a path others fail to deem relevant.

In 2010, Dave Shalaby took on the role of president of Poly-Med, Inc. after having served on the board of directors for eight years. Under Dave’s leadership, the company has grown into a vertically integrated design, development, and custom manufacturer of bioresorbable medical device and pharmaceutical products. Before stepping into his role at Poly-Med, Inc., Dave was founder and president of InSource Consulting in 1997, providing strategic consulting services to financial service companies to improve process and business efficiencies through the use of process analysis methodologies.

During his tenure, Dave personally led major merger and acquisition operational integrations for several Fortune 100 insurance companies and has overseen countless key strategic efforts in support of the InSource clients.

He grew InSource Consulting into a multimillion dollar specialty management consulting firm aimed at providing strategic support services to large companies within the healthcare, financial service, and federal government sectors. InSource Consulting was acquired by Virtusa, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRTU) in 2009.  At that time, he joined their leadership team as Senior Vice President responsible for their Insurance practice.

This unique mix of strategic and business acumen has led to significant growth at Poly-Med, Inc. Several key initiatives encouraging the team to achieve elegant solutions are advancing the company to the next level, while staying true to the legacy of Dave’s father, Dr. Shalaby W. Shalaby.

Education: David holds a B.S. in Aeronautical Technology from Purdue University (1992) and an MBA from Loyola University of Chicago (1994).
