About Us

David Young, CPA

Chief Executive Officer

Chief Executive Officer David Young came to WorldSource Healthcare in 2005 following a highly successful, decade long tenure with large public accounting firms in Athens and Atlanta, GA. Recruited by founder and president Rick Pettigrew, Young first applied his extensive financial sector knowledge to the role of Chief Operations Officer before being promoted to CEO in 2009.

Young, a visionary change management expert and team leader, has committed his time at WorldSource Healthcare to pioneering a wide variety of tools and processes that position the company far ahead of its competition. Young consistently has identified opportunities for growth and innovation, including the development of Vital Signs, a first to market proprietary software system allowing clients to monitor work and provide feedback in 24-7 real-time speed. He also was instrumental in significantly and quickly growing the WorldSource book of business during his first six months on the job, as well as in the company’s expansion into the East Asian market in 2009.

A well traveled, internationally savvy business man, Young identified the potential of the Philippine market after a personal trip to the region. Following a period of research and due diligence, he and his family moved to Manila to spearhead operations. Now, only four years later, he has grown Philippine operations from one office with only 18 hand-selected employees to two locations with more than 200 employees, and still growing. He is currently doing research on possible expansion into other international locations.

Never one to rest on his laurels, Young is always seeking out the next operational challenge at WorldSource Healthcare. It is this drive for excellence and thirst for innovation, whether in new markets, new segments or new countries, that has helped make WorldSource a cutting-edge frontrunner in healthcare business process outsourcing.

Young is a member of the Healthcare Finance Management Association (HFMA) who has spoken at several international conferences on healthcare BPO. He also maintains his Certified Public Accountant credentials and is a member of the American Institute of Public Accountants and the Georgia Society of Certified Public Accountants.

He holds a Master of Taxation Law from Georgia State University and lives in Athens, GA with his wife and three children.
