-- David A. Ward Sr., CEO, Speaker, and Trainer at David A. Ward Sr. Speaks, was honored with the Business Leadership Excellence Award at the Spring Edition of the CXO 2.0 Conference and was recently featured in New York’s Times Square. This spotlight follows his acknowledgment at the CXO 2.0 Conference, held from April 7–9, 2026, at the Bellagio Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas, USA, which convened industry leaders and decision-makers to exchange perspectives on leadership, workplace responsibility, and organizational excellence.
David’s feature in Times Square, one of the world’s most iconic public spaces, marks a defining moment for professionals advancing safety and accountability. His work highlights how prioritizing human responsibility and a culture of safety can strengthen leadership and long-term success.
David A. Ward, Sr. is a nationally respected safety expert, author, and keynote presenter whose four-decade career has transformed how organizations view safety and human responsibility. A former Senior Safety Consultant for Sentry Insurance, Federal Investigator with OSHA’s Whistleblower Protection Program, National Safety Examiner for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and U.S. Air Force veteran, he brings unmatched credibility to every stage.
“I am deeply honored and profoundly humbled to see David A. Ward Sr. SPEAKS illuminated in Times Square through the CXO 2.0 Conference. This moment is more than recognition; it is a powerful reminder of why I do this work. It strengthens my resolve to advance safety leadership and to continue serving as a voice for employees and the families forever changed by workplace injuries and fatalities.
What began with my book, The Faces of Safety and Those Left Behind When Tragedy Strikes, as a call for leaders to acknowledge the human cost of workplace tragedies, has grown into a global mission to transform how organizations value, protect, and care for their people. From creating the multicultural safety coloring book, Coloring Your Way to Safety at Home, School, and Play, to help parents and children learn safety together, to my upcoming publication, The Humanistic Side of Safety, my purpose remains unwavering: to champion the voices of injured workers and their families and to inspire meaningful, lasting change in how employees are treated at work.
I am energized by what lies ahead. But the future of safety cannot rest on one voice alone. It requires courageous leaders who are willing to rethink culture, challenge complacency, and put humanity back at the center of every decision.
My call to action is simple and urgent: Join me. Stand with me. Commit to leading with empathy, accountability, and a relentless dedication to protecting the people who make your organization possible. Together, we will change the face of safety and ensure every worker returns home safely to the people who love them.”
David’s upcoming initiatives reflect a continued focus on helping organizations integrate safety as a core organizational value. This focus aligns with the mission of the CXO 2.0 Conference, which emphasizes leadership approaches that promote responsibility, resilience, and sustainable organizational growth.
