Bio
Peter Høghøj
David worked with me at Xenocs, holding several senior positions in process, facilities and quality management. I have always appreciated David as a person and as a colleague. During his time at Xenocs, David handled several strategic projects. In this context, his systematic approach and project management skills combined with tenacity and an ability to acquire new skills was highly appreciated.

David a mis en place la politique qualité à Xenocs jusqu'à l'obtention de l'ISO 9001 et a fait vivre le système de management de la qualité ensuite. J'ai principalement apprécié le fait que David ait su mettre en place un système orienté vers la simplicité et le gain en efficacité. David a su faire vivre ce système avec dynamisme et rigueur. L'action de David a été extrémement positive pour la satisfaction à la fois des clients, mais aussi de ses collaborateurs. En conclusion, je ne peux que louer les qualités professionnelles de David.
