"Dave and I have been work colleagues for over 20 years, and he is an astute, creative and thorough Engineering Manager. I have worked with him as both a peer and a supervisor, and have seen him manage programs and projects firsthand. He is well organized, keeps current on both technology and management methodology, and is one of the best communicators I have ever worked with."
Mark DePietro
"I worked with Dave in the cable industry. He is great with clients…and he has spent a great deal of time in the security area. For those of you who have not worked in the cable industry, security of movies, music, etc. is critical. Studios won’t give you their content if it’s not secure. Studios worry a lot and about digital security. Motorola, where Dave spend a good deal of his career, had the highest and most-trusted level of security. I know, because I ran projects working with the Cable CEOs and CTOs, as well as the top manufacturers and the studios on security."
Lisa McLaine, Global Marketing Director, Unisys Corp.
"I cannot overstate how happy I am to have Dave running Business Development and Product Management for our Business Unit. He really wants to take everything on we throw at him. That means for now an excruciating level of detail, on many fronts. Keeping track of so many balls, large and small, is a challenge."
