About
Davon Robertson graduated from the GSB in ’22 and lives in Redwood City with his wife, Jordan. After working at McKinsey for the last four years, finishing as an Engagement Manager, he decided to leave to launch SlideShortcuts, which gives McKinsey alumni back the PowerPoint shortcuts they had at the Firm.
Before the GSB, he grew up in East Providence, Rhode Island, and went to Harvard College, where he played football for the Crimson. After graduating from Harvard, he moved to Kansas City, where he worked in corporate strategy and development at Sprint, and then at T-Mobile after the merger.
Outside of work, he plays a lot of pick-up basketball and does some birdwatching. His favorite bird is the Harlequin Duck.

After four years at McKinsey, I’m leaving to solve a pain point that every McK alum feels when they leave ... losing their powerpoint shortcuts.
