Bio
Laura Rice Sutherland MBA
I first met Dave in 2007 when I started working for MyWebGrocer (MWG). MWG is the leading enterprise software and digital media company offering a variety of integrated service solutions to retail grocers, ranging from eCommerce, website development, digital circulars, mobile and social platforms. The biggest spend amongst these offerings for the retail customer is online grocery shopping (OGS). Being the best and premier provider of OGS, our company was the most expensive option as compared to our competitors. MWG’s tremendous success in capturing the bulk of the market was due in huge part to Dave Dec. He truly showed why MWG was the best overall solution and value for the retailer’s OGS needs. Dave developed the training programs, user guides, presentations, etc. for this service. Dave’s product was always error-free and written superbly so that it was very user-friendly for our clients. Dave also personally traveled to the retail locations to train the retailers’ trainers. It’s often stressful to disrupt your normal business to integrate and implement something new, but Dave alleviated that stress for our clients. Not only was his work-product stellar, his presentation of it was also. His enjoyment of what he does is undeniable. Our clients loved Dave for his enthusiasm, patience, and guidance, and also for just being a nice and fun guy with whom to work. Dave’s coworkers loved him for the very same reasons!
