About

I’m David Shipp, a Minneapolis-based consultant and private pilot with a background in business economics, entrepreneurship, and marketing. I enjoy solving practical problems, helping people navigate technology, and exploring the world through aviation and travel.

​

At SPS Commerce, I help businesses connect with their retail partners through electronic data interchange (EDI). Since joining in 2024, I’ve taken on increasingly complex implementations, guided clients through technical requirements, and worked with teammates and leadership to improve processes.

​

I graduated cum laude from the University of St. Thomas, where I put my interests in entrepreneurship and research into practice. My aviation startup concept, Fly!, reached the semifinals of the Fowler Business Concept Challenge, and my team’s research on impaired driving laws tied for first place in the university’s DataCom competition.

​

Outside of work, aviation is a major part of my life. I hold a Private Pilot Certificate, previously volunteered as Marketing Coordinator for EAA Chapter 1638, and have traveled to 40 countries.
