He is proficient in French, German, Portuguese and English. Colleagues describe him as "David was my supervisor and colleague during my stay at the Meaningful Interactions Lab (Mintlab). While David possesses a lot of invaluable experience, it is his integrity, modesty and kindness that really sets him apart. He always made me feel like an equal colleague despite the difference in experience between us, and his trust in me allowed me to make autonomous decisions which otherwise I might have been too hesitant about. Moreover, David is conscious of where his strengths lie, which also means that he recognizes areas of expertise where other colleagues might have been of more help to me during the project, which to me is a sign of a mentor whom you can really trust in his judgement. Without a doubt, any initiative that David leads or joins, will (or already does) greatly benefit from his contribution, experience and simply who he is as a person." and "David is a global leader in user experience for interactive media solutions. For several years, he was the President of the ACM TVX steering committee and served as the general chair of the conference, a leading international venue for the presentation of research on interactive media experiences. His own research was influential and industry-leading in exploring ways to make the television viewing experience more social. His rigorous, peer-reviewed work explored different modalities for communication and how people watch content differently on different devices and in different contexts. These research skills and vision-setting focus can be helpful to any team looking to explore new opportunities in the interactive media domain and understand real user needs and reactions to new concepts. His work as the Research Manager of the Meaningful Interactions Lab has given him insight into planning multiple streams of complex research with the goal of improving people's lives. This experience will be useful in any industry research context. It has been great working with David in the context of the TVX Steering Committee. He is always prepared, has clear agendas, and keeps action items moving forward with appropriate followup. The conference is stronger because of his excellent leadership these past few years."
