CCA’s founder, David Shaw, brings over thirty-five years of invaluable experience in managing luxury private clubs across major competitive markets.  His experience is coupled with a further decade of specialized consulting at some of the finest clubs in the industry while leading CCA in the demanding New York tri-state metropolitan region.

​​​

David successfully led and completed projects in the most challenging assignments in the private club world. He has been called upon to tackle seemingly impossible situations, ensuring that club operations continue to run seamlessly and the incumbent management team is fully engaged in CCA’s efforts. 

 

He has worked with clients at all economic levels and is comfortable relating to owners and boards facing unknown and potentially critical outcomes.

​

• During the course of consulting, David was invited to assume full-time management and responsibility for the complete renaissance of a prestigious and exclusive private club located in the enclave of the Town of Palm Beach.  Through that tenure, the Club quickly transformed into a model operation, achieving excellence in every measurable metric.

​​​

• Importantly, the membership displayed their confidence in management by embarking upon an ambitious $50M+ capital improvement plan.  This multi-year project was completely overseen by "in-house" management and a team of fine professionals.

​

• Implementation of the Master Plan facilitated an almost-complete rebuilding of the 50-year-old facility.  At the same time, the Club achieved complete retirement of its long-term debt, establishment of the longest waiting list in its history, and raising of the joining fees to $250K.  ​

​

• The establishment of fundamental management concepts, financial protocols, and savvy management skills resulted in one of the greatest turnarounds witnessed in this region.  Notably, staff turnover was negligible, with longtime and loyal employees being rewarded for their dedication and efforts throughout the program.

 

At CCA, we are thrilled to extend these same exceptional resources to your Club, replicating the outstanding results that are possible at most every operation.  CCA has consistently delivered its clients with value-adds and fostered the development of creative channels to achieve real world results.

We are unwavering in upholding the highest levels of independence, objectivity, ethics, and integrity in every facet of our work. The best interests of the membership are always at the forefront of every decision.
