Bio
Mark Andrews
David and I previously worked together in a technology company and he was very successful in his new business sales role. Despite us having ineffective sales leadership (management by Excel or "go ring his boss" closing mentality) David was the one who I could turn to for sales mentoring and decent advice. As well as sales, I would also recommend David in a proactive sales management role.
Harvey Smith
I worked with David closely when we were at Hitachi and David is still one of the most effective new business sales people I have ever worked with. Many people say they are hunters but few have a track record of success like David. He is able to build up trust with customers, prospects and partners which led to many new customer wins. I would not hesitate in recommending David for roles in the future whether they be Public Sector or Commercial account based.
