C. David Brown is a Ibm Open Source Solutions Sales Professional at Ibm. Colleagues describe him as "Consultants and sales folks don't always understand one another and have separate roles, tools, and processes. Dave understood this innately and always took the effort to know his customer, understand the technologies he was selling, and work with any internal resource constraints. Working with Dave was always a pleasure since his excellent customer relations always allowed us to get a project kicked off smoothly. I would have no hesitation working with Dave again and highly recommend him both in technical sales and more broadly in a leadership or mentoring role." and "I had the pleasure of working with David and two of his customers in the San Diego area. He is a first class person with impeccable integrity. Clients trust David’s judgment because he exudes honesty and integrity in his business dealings."
