Matt R Vance

The three words I would use to describe Dave include: honest, organized, and proactive. In my 2+ years working with Dave at Malouf I observed him building relationships with co-workers and clients that improved the effectiveness and profitability of collaborations and transactions. In doing so, he was always truthful and detailed with his contributions. He implemented a project tracking program, using Wrike, which has helped different departments at Malouf work together to meet deadlines. Dave also pioneered the wholesale program for some of the company’s specialty products by getting placements in new stores. On a personal note, I appreciate Dave’s sincere friendship. He’s a guy who really cares about people and doing his best. Matt Vance

For over 3 years Dave was my manager and mentor. As soon as he joined our marketing department it was obvious that things were changing for the better. He brought a humble self-confidence that makes him truly unique. He was always willing and wanting to understand each member of his team and found ways to help us grow in our respective positions. Not only was he focused on the short-term goals that we had, but he often asked us what our long-term career and personal goals were. In the many jobs I've had and the different companies I've worked for, I've never had a manager so involved and concerned for my well being and personal progress. He put his trust in each member of our team and never micro-managed us, but rather, gave us opportunities to prove ourselves and do our jobs as we saw fit. Even when corrections were needed, he was sensitive, strategic, and supportive. In a company of over 100 employees, Dave helped our company culture grow unlike anyone else. He knew the importance of unity and the success it can foster in a company. That x-factor made a big difference in many ways - some tangible and many intangible. I feel very fortunate to have worked with someone as talented and good-willed as Dave. I look up to him in so many ways and know that even to this day I can ask him for help or a favor and I have no doubt that he'll be there. He has my highest recommendation I could give to any colleague and friend.
