I had the pleasure of working with David: a highly reliable, delivery-driven and structured colleague. David was able to help us on a large variety of tasks in a fast-moving work environment and contributed decisively to the success of the company.

I strongly recommend David, being a Manager. He is very professional, detail-oriented and always doing one step further. David is also able to combine professional responsibilities with building a real personal relationship with his team. David is a real leader, able to run various projects at the same time and produced really positive results to the company and teams.
