Bio
Edward Novak
I have had the pleasure of working alongside Dave Foss for over four years now and emphatically recommend him. When I came to FiberTower as a member of Dave’s group it was a chaotic world where Dave was systematically establishing order to professionalize our business. Without the expert tutelage of Dave, achieving successful results at the job before me would have been immensely more difficult. During his tenure at FiberTower, he has developed an understanding of our business that is second to none allowing him to adapt to our changing business needs and draw sound conclusions often based on limited information being available. Dave has developed strong relationships with key individuals at all of our major wireless customers providing them a point of contact other than Sales to rely upon for quick, accurate answers. He is loyal to both the individuals he works with and our organization as a whole, constantly striving to bring our company to its full potential. For these and a host of other reasons it is my pleasure to recommend Dave Foss.
