He has honed a product philosophy grounded in customer empathy, data-driven decision-making, and a relentless drive toward innovation.

"We are thrilled to welcome David to the PlanHub leadership team," said Ro Bhatia, CEO of PlanHub. "His deep expertise in marketplace technology, combined with his proven track record of delivering customer-first product experiences and his forward-thinking approach to AI, makes him a true game changer for our product organization. As we continue to grow our network of 500,000+ construction professionals and expand our AI-driven platform capabilities, David's passion for innovation and his deep understanding of what customers truly need will be instrumental in helping PlanHub deliver the next generation of preconstruction tools."

The opportunity to build AI products that genuinely solve customer problems- helping contractors find more work, bid smarter, and grow their businesses- is exactly the kind of mission-driven challenge I love. I look forward to working with this talented team to push the boundaries of what's possible and deliver experiences that the construction community will truly love."

Throughout his career, Fleischman has established a reputation as a customer-focused product leader who blends strategic vision with hands-on execution. He has a proven track record of establishing and growing software and SaaS businesses and has been a vocal advocate for leveraging AI not as a buzzword, but as a practical force multiplier that drives real business outcomes. His approach to agentic AI workflows — compressing weeks of effort into minutes of precision — aligns directly with PlanHub's commitment to simplifying preconstruction and helping every contractor, subcontractor, and supplier compete more effectively.

As CPO, Fleischman will oversee product management, product design, and product strategy across PlanHub's full platform portfolio, including its bidding, takeoff, estimation, and marketplace tools.
