Bio
Mark Kendrick
I have worked with David for 5 years across two organisations. He is hugely dedicated to the cause, hard-working and great at understanding how to deliver campaign messages in different content forms. The big thing about David which has impressed me the most is his communication skills with people of all different levels. He maintains a professional relationship with great rapport which enables him to obtain regular interviews, contributions and speaking engagement. Above all of this David is a great bloke and one you’d want in your team.

It was a pleasure working with David Tran during his time at DFNI, he was absolutely professional, accurate, sincere, and very proactive during the various occasions I worked with him. I appreciated his writing talent, it was always interesting to read his articles about the Travel Retail industry. I wish him all the best for the future and I am sure he will do great!
