David was my executive coach for over a year and I can say that every interaction with him is a pleasure. David is a fabulous listener who is able to pull difficult root causes from a situation and provide guidance to a solution. David rarely gives direction, rather, turns on the light so you can draw a successful conclusion. He draws from substantial, relevant experiences and learnings that make him very credible. I am honored to count David as a mentor and friend through my professional interaction.”
