David Reid is a Director at Harvard Management Company at Harvard Management Company. Colleagues describe them as "I have worked with Dave for approximately10 years in systems as a peer at Fidelity Investments. Dave's most impressive professional asset is his management style and expertise in system management. Dave has a gift for being able to manage multiple groups to achieve a common goal. Dave manages with a very diplomatic style which places a high level of importance on every team members contribution. At the same time, he is able to communicate the common goal to all involved and diplomatically and select critical input which contributes to the common goal without diminishing any individuals contribution. Dave has a real talent for working with senior management by communicating complex system or database situations in an executive summary format which senior executives are most comfortable. Dave's technical database expertise is second to none. Dave takes a very methodical approach to investigating technical error conditions by focusing on the basics and keeping the entire teams investigative problem approach in proper perspective. Dave always focuses on keeping all calm in the investigative process and eliminating any signs of panic from team members or management with clear analytical logical explanations. Dave was always the "go to guy" when there was a potentially serious data or system issue at Fidelity Investments. Dave's technical knowledge and management is nothing short of impressive and I hope to have the opportunity to work with Dave again in the future." and "Dave's "can-do" attitude as a Business Analyst was extraordinary. I managed Dave for over a year at Fidelity and I couldn't say enough about his his technical aptitude, his broad business understanding and his easy-going style. With limited guidance Dave can quickly assess an issue and begin to devise an action plan to respond to it. Dave could always be counted on to see an issue through to its successful conclusion and did a fine job in communicating the issues to all interested parties. Dave was a significant contributor to my Business Analysis team and many project members (in technology and from the business) indicated their pleasure in working with him. I highly recommend Dave Reid."
