Dave was always very focused using data to make decisions. He is a great team leader and communicator and gets things done on time!

Robin Kent

I had the distinct pleasure of reporting directly to Dave during my employment at Inventure Foods. His exceptional manangement style, leadership skills and open door policy enabled us to work together smoothly on any project at hand. Dave was available at any time to provide direction, support and use creative learning curves for those under his supervision. I would not have been as successful at Inventure Foods without him and would be honored to work with Dave again in a future journey.

      The largest independent APU MRO globally. Owned by The Gores Group (“Gores”), founded in 1987 by Alec Gores and headquartered in Los Angeles, CA, is a global investment firm focused on acquiring controlling interests in mature and growing businesses which can benefit from the firm’s operating experience and flexible capital base. TurbineAero repairs, sells, leases, tests, and certifies APU and related parts accessories. TurbineAero currently has four locations, three business units are located near Phoenix, Arizona and the fourth is just outside Bangkok, Thailand. I took on this engagement as Group Controller in order to ready the Company for sale within 2yrs as it is owned by a Private Equity Firm. Ultimately, the Company was not nearly in a position to be sold as advertised and was not on the same pace of change that I was, which led me to make a change. Show less
