Sam’s Club Head of Corporate Communications
I met Dave several years ago while he was conducting a search for one of his clients. While the position was not right for me, he did take the time to understand my career goals and we kept in touch. Last year Dave told me that he had the perfect job for me – and he was right. Dave listened to what I was looking for and didn’t waste my time with jobs that were not right. During the process, he was very proactive in keeping me in the loop and advocating my candidacy. Whenever someone tells me they are looking for a job, I don’t hesitate to give them Dave’s contact information.

As an agency professional, transitioning to in-house/client-side can be a daunting challenge. David helped me transition my career from a PR agency to managing digital and social media marketing at ASICS America. Not only was he my “in” to the company and position before it was publicly posted, he also stayed in constant touch to update me with any news and was always available to chat on the phone before or after an interview to make sure I was doing everything in my power to position myself in the best possible way. I have never met a recruiter that is as excellent a communicator and am eternally thankful for his ability to build such a seamless bridge between employers and potential candidates!

David led the recruiting effort, his energy and drive set him apart. But it was his honesty and candor that I actually valued the most.

I would strongly recommend him to any organization looking for that combination of ‘driver with a personal touch.

His marketing background, topnotch connections and knack for executive matchmaking are unsurpassed. I would recommend him to anyone looking for, or looking to fill a creative position.

David is by far one of if not the best recruiter I have ever worked with in my career. David placed me at Holland Mark Advertsing 10 years ago. When I found myself in a similar situation in 2009, David was my first phone call in terms of discussing my career goals and opportunities that were currently available in the Boston market. David understands the discipline of marketing communications and not only acts as a recruiter for his clients but also as a consultant. He works very hard on behalf of his clients to ensure that the fit between employer and employee is the right one. He is available to answer questions and guide the process flawlessly. I’m pleased to have known David for over 10 years now.
