Gray Winsler
Damian is the kind of person you build a company around. He is a remarkable leader who can build teams and processes that lead to the flourishing of any GTM motion. He works tirelessly to ensure his team is successful, and helps them advance both in their role, and in their career. Any GTM team would be lucky to have him. His only knock is that if you hire him, you may never win a company cook off again.
Mike Telfer
I had the pleasure of having Damian on my team for just over two years. In that time, Damian proved to be a valuable asset in many facets of our business. Damian is forward thinking and self-starting. He has a combination of attributes that any leader is looking for on their team. I could depend on Damian to immerse himself in new initiatives as he was always looking for professional development opportunities. His involvement in implementing our CRM was key in identifying areas to focus attention in order to gain quick adoption from our sales force. His ability to break down processes and teach fundamental application put his team ahead of the curve. Above all, Damian is a man of character that has an unwavering set of ethics that sets him apart from the pack. He delivers results and does it in the right way. If you are considering Damian for an employment opportunity, please do not hesitate to reach out as I will be more than happy to elaborate.
