Formulating Business Strategies and Go-to-Market Tactics.

Dave is very knowledgeable about cloud computing and really went above and beyond to make sure I had the answers I needed to move my organization forward. I would definitely use him again any time I need to advice about cloud services.

Dave Paolicelli is a creative, analytic, and pioneering thought leader in the tech industry. I had the pleasure of working for Dave while he was at Cloud Sherpas where he led the Collaboration practice. He was able to carve a completely new path for the company by creating service packages and working externally to build awareness around the new services. Today we benefit greatly from his accomplishments. As a leader, he is well organized and focuses on the delivery of high quality services. He can easily discern client needs in a consultative manner, and present the challenges and solutions in a simple and effective way. He can also detect systemic issues across many industries and present frameworks for addressing those challenges. Along with those skills, his jovial attitude and strong work ethic make him a strong leader for any company!

David was a great manager and mentor during the 3 years that I worked with him. His door was always open to his team and he encouraged their feedback. His visionary and hardworking attitude inspired his team to try new things and work hard to overcome challenges. I highly recommend him.

David is an engaging manager who likes to keep himself and his team up to date with emerging technologies. He is always on the look for opportunities to make improvements to existing solutions and processes. I have really enjoyed working for him for 5 years and have learned a lot from him. He would be a great asset to any firm.

I joined Vivakos, Inc in 2002 because I knew his leadership and vision he showed in the previous job would give me an exciting and interesting opportunity. While serving as the technology architect in Vivakos, Inc, I got to know him better both personally and professionally. He demonstrated a unparalleled vision on where he wanted to take us and guided the team to build a technology platform that was light years ahead of the time. It seems the market is still catching up with what he envisioned years ago.

Not only he made the company successful financially but also created a fun environment that made people highly motivated and enthusiastic about the work, which is hard to maintain without a strong leadership, integrity and character. One of the key reasons for this success was he consistently encouraged everyone to collabore, participate in key decision making which gave everyone a strong sense of ownership and accountability. Not to mention, his deep understanding of both technology trends and business acumen really made us believe in his vision and got us excited about the work we were doing.

I would highly recommend David for a senior executive role.

David created a comfortable while efficient and effective work environment at Vivakos by hiring people with the right skills and personalities and setting a tone for teamwork and collegiality. He and the entire team made what could easily have been a very high-stress job enjoyable, providing even more motivation to work hard and produce results. While working at Vivakos I saw the company grow and succeed according to David's plans. They were specific enough to provide direction and motivation but flexible enough to handle the rapid changes a small company would expect to face. I was extremely fortunate to work for David and with the Vivakos team, and only my deep desire to do scientific research took me away.

Dave provides a great mix of practicality and business acumen as a business partner. In each instance where I've worked with him, he has provided creative solutions that meet not only the budget parameters, but more importantly reflect his understanding of our target audiece and how they interact with technology. I highly recommend Dave if you are looking for someone who has extensive experience with emerging technologies and the acumen to know how and when to apply.

I had the opportunity to work with Dave on multiple client engagements. He is a friendly, result orientated person and capable of managing multiple complex projects and at the sametime very customer-focused. He gives enough freedom, latitude and opportunity to grow and prove oneself. I enjoyed working with him.

Dave is a fantastic individual who creates a dynamic and enjoyable work environment and is an understanding boss. It was a pleasure to work for him.

I worked very closely with Dave while he was at VRI, and on and off since that time. Dave Paolicelli is one of the most innovative and insightful people with whom I have worked. He has a mind for recognizing core business problems and the ability to bring strong technology solutions to the real issue at hand. I could not recommend someone more!!
