Retired Chairman & CEO, Ketchum Analytics and Rockland Dutton R&C

Dr. David Rockland launched Rockland Dutton Research & Consulting upon retiring in 2017 from the full-time role of Partner/CEO Ketchum Global Research & Analytics (KGRA) along with his wife Sarah Dutton who retired as the head of polling with CBS News. With all clients, he has been engaged in a mix of market research, strategic planning, measurement and evaluation. This follows from his work at Ketchum where he built the largest research and planning group in the communications industry.

David and Sarah own a farm in Centreville, Maryland. They have dedicated the property to wildlife habitat enhancement and have put about 20 acres into forest buffer strips, and over 100 acres into a wetlands restoration program. They restored the 1789 farmhouse on the property and listed it on the National Register of Historic Places.

An avid outdoorsman, he has served as Chairman of the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation which supports the largest Caucus on Capitol Hill. He has also served on other boards including the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and National Environmental Education Foundation. David holds a Ph.D. in Natural Resource Economics from the University of Delaware.
