Dave Hattem

Dave has held a variety of leadership positions in the private and public sectors. Most recently, he served 11 years as Equitable’s Chief Legal Officer (CLO) and member of its Executive Team responsible for strategy, operations risk, talent, culture, operations, and businesses. Throughout his career, professional agility has been critical as Equitable Insurance evolved from a publicly traded corporation held principally by the multinational insurer, AXA S.A., into a wholly owned subsidiary of AXA, and then into a fully independent public company as part of Equitable Insurance’s historic 2018 IPO, an event in which he played a lead role.

Currently, Dave is the Chair of Baryshnikov Art whose important mission– to inspire, incubate, and support artists and audiences through residences, community engagement, performances, and economic development–aligns with his values and expands my horizons.

Dave received a Front End Coaching Certification of Achievement from Columbia University.
