David is the clear example of commitment and obtaining results. His cross-functional experience and technical knowledge allows him to rapidly contribute to the team's success and makes him a key player in any technical challenge. As his Engineering Instructor, I also had the privilege to witness his rapid career growth at Baker Hughes. I strongly believe David Acquaye would be a valuable addition to any organization.

David is an experienced oil & gas professional and unconventional completions project leader experienced in innovative product development. David and I worked together on disintigrating frac plug function testing and qualification at Baker Hughes, CTI. It was a pleasure working with him and his team. David's diligence, knowledge, and work ethic would be an asset to any company.
