About Us

David deMilo
General Manager, Photographer, Video/3D Producer

Like many in this business, I started photographing in my teens as a means of expression. Photography has always taught me new ways to see the world around me. It combines art and craft in very rewarding ways.

At first I was a street photographer, then a reporter and photo journalist, and when digital imaging developed in the 80s I embraced it and began to apply it in commercial and personal projects. From then on, the intersection of marketing, information and media has been at the center of my work.

I retired from Cisco in 2021 as a Distinguished Engineer and started Latitude & Light to “come home” and focus on digital imaging and its applications in related industries with which I have direct experience and great interest: real estate marketing, architecture and construction and hospitality service businesses.

Latitude & Light is an opportunity to marry my strongest technical and creative skills to help small and medium sized businesses sell, build and deliver for their customers.

Career Footprints

• Studied photography under Jane Tuckerman and Barbara Norfleet at Harvard Univeristy's school of Visual and Environmental Studies and was a reporter, photographer and editor at the campus daily, The Harvard Crimson.

• Articles and photographs published in the Miami Herald, The Boston Globe, Harvard Magazine, The Boston Phoenix, and contributed to the photography book, Dirty Old Boston.

• Led data center build-outs and network installations at major banks in Boston and New York and in 1988 built Accenture’s first digital proposal development center in New York and New Jersey, a design that was copied throughout the firm and has evolved to this day.

• In 1994, worked with architects and contractors to design and build the first fully digital “scan-to-press” photo imaging facility at K-III Communications in New York, producing photography in books, print collateral and direct mail catalogs at industrial scale.

• From 1997-2000 led software development for Knight-Ridder Digital and its roll-out of online classifieds and 30 local newspaper-affiliated websites across the US.

• At Cisco, I focused on CRM and the technology behind customer service and support, which meant compiling and delivering enormous amounts of complex information, documentation and images and pushing them into the flow of problem-solving. This started with finding ways to make Cisco’s web site easier to navigate and search and led to the development of AI chat bots and online collaboration through Webex Meetings and Webex Teams chat spaces. In my last project at Cisco, I led an innovation team to design and develop the company’s first Webex Telehealth application in 2019.
