David has a genuine, objective approach that connects with his direct team and his customers. Something that makes David unique in a sales leadership role is his positive approach to attack challenges, he is a great mentor and pleasure to work with. Just in our first quarter together as a team, David and I managed to close a multi year agreement. " and "David is among the best Sales Executives I've ever worked with, hands down. In my time working with him at AtScale I was consistently impressed by his effectiveness across many fronts. As a seller, David was able to understand our complex product at a deep level, but was also extremely effective at understanding customer pain points and appropriately positioning AtScale as a solution (and also knowing when to walk away from the wrong use cases). The result of this ability was a high rate of successful sales campaigns and as well as a track record of customer success. David is truly customer-focused, as evidenced by the fact that his clients are happy to work with him again, even when he's started up in a new domain or company. In addition to being a top-notch salesperson, David is also a fantastic executive leader. He leads by example, and also takes the time to understand his team's motivations, needs, and development areas. As a leader at AtScale he focused on exemplifying, promoting, and nurturing the AtScale culture and was always concerned not just with the individual success of the sales organization, but the success of the company as a whole. As a person, I truly enjoyed working with David. He is steadfast in his pursuit of excellence, a terribly fast walker, and just a solid, good person. At the end of the day, he is a fun guy to work with, and that's what made working with him enjoyable. I'd love to have the opportunity to work with him again in the future."
