Colleagues describe him as "A boss will teach you what to do. A leader will show you how and why to do it. A leader wants you to feel successful even if you failed. A leader grows the confidence and passion from within you to build self-accountability. A leader influences anywhere and everywhere. A leader stays focused on doing what is right. A leader stays driven by passion and purpose. A leader wants you to do better. A leader wants you to be more successful than he/she is. A leader get pleasure out of seeing others rewarded for the fantastic results of their passion. A leader knows trust is necessary to be influential. A leader crafts memorable moments that will have a lasting impact on others. Imagine living in a world where everyone had the same pleasure principle as a leader. Amazing, right? Well, I've experienced all of the above with David Apple. Not only the best leader, but one of the best human beings I've had the pleasure to know", "David is an excellent Customer success and sales manager and great at mentoring employees to feel like they can do their best work.", and "It's rare to have the opportunity to report to a manager who is as much invested in the business goals as he is in your professional development and growth—but I did in the memorable 4 years I worked with David. When he joined Typeform, the entire customer facing team was made of two girls focused on answering Support tickets. At the end of his journey, his legacy is a team of 34 people distributed in five teams: Support, Education, Customer Experience, Customer Success Managers, Sales and CS Operations. Saying someone is smart or dedicated in a recommendation is the obvious thing to do, so I'll stick to the facts: David built the Customer Success department from the grown-up. In his first few years he split his time between structuring the team and connecting with other CS leaders, learning as much as he could on best practices, KPIs, processes and—equally important—how to mentor, grow and engage his team. You can easily find podcasts, presentations and articles about his work, so I'll just add this: if for nothing else, you want David in your team to boost the morale in times of stress. Let's just you never really experienced an office competition of Just Dance or Salad Bowl until you have played it with him. I'm lucky to call David a friend and I'm sure he will keep leaving his mark in the start-up world."
