Colleagues describe him as "David hired me as the Area VP for Central Europe (DACH) to launch this region from scratch. He had been my manager during my first year at Acquia where he has provided great leadership and guidance to find and close large enterprise PaaS / SaaS deals. His insight and support were pivotal to make things happen, especially when it came to building this region, recruiting the right team, focus on the right market segments and large deals done - with clients but also internally. I hope I will be able to work for David again in the future. I did learn a lot from him and wish him all the best for his personal and professional future. I am confident he will be a great contributor for any high tech company." and "David Perry was a star performer in every imaginable category while at Aperture. He took the reins as our lead executive responsible for all of EMEA, built a superb team of both sales and service/support staff - and was directly responsible for EMEA being our number 1 performing sales region during my entire tenure. David has mastered the art of multi-level selling and knows how to work the sales process both with technical end-user staff, deal influencers, financial management and (most importantly), executive/C-Level executives. His clients seek him out for advice and counsel and he is ofter considered to be a member of the client's own implementation team. David and his sales team were faced with selling a complicated product line with a very high price tag to a very knowledgeable and demanding prospect base and I believe that his business maturity, desire to succeed/excel and his overall professionalism were critical components in his unmatched success.
