Bio
Laurence Dessart
David and I collaborated on several knowledge exchange consultancy projects for Scottish SMEs involving strategic management and marketing decision-making. David is real team player,an extremely competent researcher and consultant, and it has always been a pleasure working with him. We also shared teaching duties on several undergraduate and postgraduate management courses and there again, David's input and interpersonal skills have been greatly valuable. I would not hesitate recommending David for management, consultancy or education-related positions.
Craig Little MSc, MBA
David was an extremely hard working individual during out time together at The University of Glasgow. An outstanding team player during our team working situations. Where David was always more than prepared to go that extra yard to get things done correctly and to the desired standard. David particularly impressed me in areas of risk & crisis management, providing invaluable perspectives, not surprisingly David has decided to specialize in this field by continuing his academic studies towards a Ph.D.
