Innovative strategies to transform your business

Teaghlach (pronounced "T-gl-lach") is an old Irish term meaning family.
Our services are designed to provide personalized support and expertise across various business needs.
HOW CAN WE HELP YOU EXECUTE ?


We treat our clients like family. We believe in working closely with you, listening to your needs, and providing genuine support—just as you would for those closest to you.
Whether you need a fresh perspective, strategic guidance, or a trusted partner for your most confidential projects, we're here to help your business succeed in a way that feels personal, warm, and reliable.
After all, helping friends is what family is all about.
I’m David Hartnett, and the Teaghlach Group is my way of combining my passion for business with my commitment to family. As the former Chief Economic Development Officer at the Metro Atlanta Chamber, I led efforts to attract, retain and grow companies across industries including AI, cybersecurity, fintech, supply chain, entertainment and life sciences.
My career has included serving as President and CEO of Macopharma, CEO of SteriFx, a DARPA funded company, and Executive Vice President at Given Imaging, now part of Medtronic. At Given Imaging, I helped commercialize PillCam® video capsule endoscopy technology.
I’ve worked with companies of all sizes, from startups to global enterprises, and have focused throughout my career on helping organizations grow. I’ve also co-founded organizations that have strengthened Atlanta’s business and civic community: Venture Atlanta, with more than $20 billion in exits among its alumni companies; FinTech Atlanta, the nation’s first consortium of FinTech CEOs, which helped lead to the creation of the FinTech Academy; and the Atlanta Science Festival, the largest citywide STEM festival in the U.S. I also invest in healthcare and medical device companies, keeping me connected to the investor community.
My board, advisory and leadership roles include:
• Atlanta Tech Village, Strategic Advisor
• Grady Health Foundation, Director
• Venture Atlanta Coalition, Co-Founder
• AgeTech Connect, Chairman Emeritus
• The Carter Center, Board of Councilors
• Atlanta Science Festival/Science ATL, Founding Chairman of the Board
Raised on Coronado Island, California, I now call Atlanta home. I enjoy life here with my wife, our four sons and five grandchildren.
Through Teaghlach, I’m excited to help friends and business partners succeed, bringing the same dedication and care I give to my own family.
