Executive Leadership

David Hoe
Co-Founder

Chairman of the Board

An entrepreneur with a proven record in the veterinary industry, David is also a US Army combat veteran and an MBA-trained leader with a decade of experience in a Fortune 500 company. Years of working alongside his wife, veterinarian Lori Hoe, DVM, opened David’s eyes to the strategic role of mobile specialists and their unique ability to enhance general practice hospitals by expanding services, raising standards of care, and increasing revenue. Early in 2018, over drinks with his friend Brian, David shared his vision to build, equip, and support a nationwide network of mobile specialists… and MOVES was born just a few short weeks later.
