Bio
David Pipe
I'm writing to recommend Bryan because he consistently demonstrated his care for our customers and their experience with our products. Bryan always put the user first, even when it was difficult or unpopular. Danby has a rich history in refrigeration and compact appliances dating back 75 years. This industry is suffering from commoditization and a lack of innovation. In spite of this, Bryan worked hard to find ways that Danby could be innovative within its means. He led the design of the Contemporary Classic line; the most innovative compact fridge lineup the market has seen in years. After much research he conceptualized and designed Danby's elev8 refrigerator pedestal - a first for Danby using a knockdown design. Bryan also led a number of other significant and still unreleased projects that will bring innovation to the wine storage category. Bryan is a passionate and driven individual who believes in the power of the experience. Danby benefitted greatly from projects Bryan led, and I enjoyed working with Bryan during our time there.
