About Brandot

David began his career at MAST Industries, Inc. - the sourcing and manufacturing company his parents founded in 1970 - at the age of 8 at its first location in Norwood, Massachusetts in 1972 where he was responsible for emptying waste cans and ashtrays on weekends. As a teenager during his high-school summer vacations, David continued to work at MAST in Woburn, Massachusetts in various departments including the pattern room, the chemical laboratory, and in accounts receivables.

After his undergraduate degree and a period in Los Angeles where he worked in the entertainment industry on films for CBS, NBC, HBO, Universal Pictures and the Walt Disney Company, David re-joined MAST in Milan, Italy where he was responsible for the first intimate-apparel and swimwear production for Abercrombie & Fitch. Until 2002 at MAST, David was the Marketing Director for Abercrombie & Fitch overseeing brand sourcing and development in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Since 2003, David formed his own small company ATOMIC THOUGHT where he has experimented in urban real-estate development and in sustainable historic renovations. David was awarded a 2011 Green Award by Mayor Thomas M. Menino for his work in waste reduction and re-use in the City of Boston.

David continues to work in his family's apparel and component manufacturing businesses, Brandot International, Ltd. and Jacob Industries, Ltd. which his father founded after his retirement from MAST in 2000. David works as a strategic consultant for Brandot - a half-billion dollar worldwide operation - and is a Member of the Board of its International Holding Company and is a Director of several of its Joint Venture Companies.

David served on the Board of Trustees at The Boston School of Fashion Design, and currently sits on the Visiting Committee of Contemporary Art at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. In addition, David is a Trustee of the Trust Family Foundation which provides grants to charitable organizations throughout New England.
