About

David Cole is a founder, executive, researcher, behavior analyst, and systems builder based in Germany.

His work sits at the intersection of behavior, operations, software, and AI: how people make decisions, how organizations scale, and how systems are designed well enough to hold up under real use.

He has founded, scaled, and led therapy organizations in Europe, including Ausblick Therapie and Knospe-Lerncenter. At Ausblick Therapie, he helped grow the company from one location to three facilities and roughly 50 employees in under a year. At Knospe-Lerncenter, he co-founded and helped build Germany’s leading multi-disciplinary therapy provider, spanning applied behavior analysis, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech-language pathology across 8 facilities and roughly 80 employees.

That operating background matters because his interest in AI is not abstract. It comes from building and running organizations that need better systems, clearer decisions, stronger implementation discipline, and tools that work under practical constraints.

Before moving into executive and company-building work full time, David’s academic work focused on neuroscience, behavioral economics, and experimental methods. He studied and worked with EEG, TMS, fNIRS, and brain-computer interface methods, published in peer-reviewed journals, presented at international conferences, contributed to grant-funded research, and taught at the university level.

He has also built software and tools around real workflow needs, including free graphing software adopted by university programs and more recent work with AI systems, software, and multi-agent workflows. Across those settings, the through-line is the same: building things that help people think more clearly, work more effectively, and make better decisions under real-world constraints.

Today, Multiplicity brings that work together in one place: executive AI implementation, selected systems and software projects, and writing on behavior, operations, software, and frontier AI.
