Bio
Jamie Smith
A modern-day business leader, David is approachable, pragmatic and open to new ideas. The guy has it all... a sharp business instinct, a solid track record of delivering on objectives and a courageous & collaborative leadership style that challenges and stimulates performance in others. David is a rising star who will no doubt continue to grow and become a very successful senior business executive.
Philippe Beaupere
I had the chance to meet David in University, as we were part of the same promotion. It was clear from the beginning that he was different from the average student in terms of focus and vision. He always had clear objectives in everything he did and sticked to them, without being diverted untill he reached them. Getting a sense of long term vision is an achievement in itself when you're a student and tells a lot about how strong and determined David is!
