David Heenan has worked in several industries in his career but his passion remains in reaching the public through his insightful writings.
Heenan has authored half a dozen books including Double Lives, The Re-United States of America, and Multinational Organization Development. His latest book, Flight Capital, tackles the 'alarming exodus of America's best and brightest'.
In this non-fiction Heenan writes, "The flight of any country's brightest minds is a sure sign that the country is in serious trouble," and he aims to reverse the current cycle in America.
"According to my statistics and accounting the country is losing probably on a daily basis somewhere between 500 and a thousand," Heenan said.
"These are foreign born Americans. Many of them in leading-edge professions in science, technology and medicine, exactly the types of people you want to get your hook in to."
He argues that steps are required to counter this phenomenon which includes retreading of immigration policies and education system, and celebration of science and technology.
Besides writing, David Heenan became a pilot for the Marine Corps, worked for Theo Davies & Co, Ltd. and Citicorp, and became dean for the University of Hawaii's business school.
At present, he is a member of the board of trustees of the Estate of James Campbell, which has granted several institutions a total of $871,771 in 2005.
