I worked very closely with David for 3 1/2 years at Dell Canada, where David was responsible for Consumer and Small Business Marketing and Merchandising during that period. Dave is an exceptionally bright, analytical, strategic and results oriented leader who helped lead our business through a very high growth period. Including his 2 years in Europe, his experience as a Direct Marketer is industry leading.
