His leadership skills are absolutely stunning; driven and charismatic, he is direct and steady when times are tough. Dave was the President and CEO of MTN during my tenure there; I was always amazed by how quickly he can untwist the most complicated situations. I commend Dave for his hard work and commitment to driving the business to the next level, which he did, several times. When Sep 11, 2001 happened, Dave ordered MTN to open all our phone lines and internet access to crew and passengers aboard multiple dozens of cruise ships and embarkations sailing all over the world to call home for free. Dave did not hesitate in getting the people an opportunity to speak to their loved ones during those harsh days. To me, that was one of the most unselfish and memorable decisions I have seen in the Telecom Business. It was an an honor to serve MTN and David Kagan."
