Bio
Daniel Bartolomé Tabladillo
I have had the great opportunity to work with David in Spain and the expansion project in outh Africa more than five years. He is a great sales profesional. He is strong both in new sales and taking care of existing clients. David also shows leader capabilities and is a great addition to any team, much due to his positive attitude which he shares with everyone around him. David is one of the most prestigious and well-known professionals within the South Africa photovoltaic market. Apart from his huge industry know-how, he has a very valuable capability to transform data into strategic information that maximize the effectiveness of the decision-making process of his clients. For me it was a pleasure to work with him.
