Colleagues describe him as "Dave played several key roles for me in my role as Integration "Sherpa" for Pillar Technology. Dave was initially the Integration Operations lead who handles all the process and operational elements of the integration. Dave was a very effective advocate for the Pillar way of doing things but was able to balance that advocacy with reality and negotiate solutions that met Accenture requirements and retained what was important to Pillar. Dave is very organized and remained on top of all the activities that took place during the integration - demonstrating strong program management capabilities. Dave then moved into the Operations lead role for our Forge Global expansion program, playing a key role as we looked to expand our network of Forges in NA and beyond. Dave traveled across NA and abroad helping local teams understand how the Forges operated as well as how to get them set up with all the tasks that needed to be completed. In that role, Dave was also able to demonstrate his ability to negotiate and compromise according to local constraints and circumstances whilst ensuring that the fundamental elements of a Forge were retained. I could always rely on Dave to get things done. When I asked Dave to take something on, it got done. I rarely had to get involved and Dave only escalated when he needed to - typically when he ran into an Accenture roadblock or needed a decision that needed my level of authority. He always kept me up to date on progress and his communication was thorough and complete. In short, Dave is an outstanding executive who gets things done and who brings discipline and rigor to his operational responsibilities. I could always rely on Dave and I appreciated the commitment and passion that he brought every day. " and "Where to start when recommending Dave is a challenge as the value he brings to an organization and its people is astounding! Dave is an exceptional talent and any company would be lucky to have Dave’s breadth of knowledge, leadership, passion and drive contributing to its business and teams. I have had the honor of working closely with Dave for the past several years at Pillar, and then collaborated closely with him upon the acquisition of Pillar to Accenture. First, Dave does the work of 10 people and he does it with a smile on his face, complete dedication and unwavering delivery excellence. Dave steps up to close the gap whenever and wherever it’s needed, even when it may not seem like the ideal fit for his background. Dave proves that he can lead through any area of Operations, leveraging his servant leadership principles, lean agile mindset, quality, speed and execution. Dave’s experience while at Pillar/Accenture included Operations, IT, acquisition integration, change management, project management and Global program expansion. Whether it’s systems or people, Dave is able to drive value by iterating and continuously improving the business. I highly recommend Dave to any company looking to increase efficiency, cut waste, operationalize processes and improve the quality and value delivered by its teams. "
