David is a unique person who gets the big picture, and understands both the science and art of marketing in a way that breaks through the noise of the market. His work at Apperian on creating a new brand and image was transformative. David is a great person to work with and I'm truly gratified that we had the opportunity to spend time together.
Source: LinkedIn Cimarron Buser Jul 17, 2013Since joining Apperian, David has single-handedly revitalized our brand image. Making an enterprise-focused company look "cool" is no easy feat, but that's exactly what David pulled off. David is also one of the calmest, focused marketers i've ever worked with, at the same time conveying a sense of excitement that never failed to inspire the company. David has a great personality, going out of his way to get to know his colleagues in all departments. It's rare to find someone who has such a complete understanding of the startup scene and the importance of brand image - his impact on crafting the outward face of Apperian will be felt for years to come.
Source: LinkedIn Jeremy Debate Jul 17, 2013David is our Marketing Advisor at Treehouse and he's been an invaluable source of knowledge and help. I have a twice-monthly Skype chat where I bounce ideas off him and ask questions and it's been tremendously valuable.
He really understands marketing in the new social age, in addition to bread-and-butter online marketing.
I'd highly recommend him to anyone who needs a very intelligent, friendly and hard working CMO or above.
Source: LinkedIn Ryan Carson Jul 17, 2013David has an exceptional customer focus. He is driven to create engaging places in the market for customers to interact. I've always admired how well he balances an artistic and creative approach with strong data driven analysis. It's a pleasure watching the process unfold.
Source: LinkedIn Alan Murray Jul 17, 2013David is an infectious motivator. While he is a deft marketer, it is his ability to bring you into what he's excited about, and energize everyone — colleagues, directors and subordinates — to attain a common goal that makes him stand apart from the crowd. David's energy and enthusiasm is genuine, and his natural knack for being able to relate across levels and functions makes him an asset to any organization. When David is passionate and believes in the mission he has taken on, it is tough to beat his focus.
Source: LinkedIn Michael Ninness Jul 17, 2013David is open, tells it like it is, takes risks when potential rewards justify it and is skilled at building strong teams. I loved working with him, because he hires really well, then empowers his people. Some of the best co-workers I've ever had, are people that David hired.
Source: LinkedIn Scott Barnett Jul 17, 2013David is wonderful to work with and helped create an incredibly positive and productive culture at Citrix Online. Under his leadership we launched and built major brands such as GoToMeeting, outperforming the market and creating some of the most visited sites on the web.
Source: LinkedIn Katie Davis Jul 17, 2013I consider David to be one of the most dynamic and innovative leaders in the game. In addition to being one of the kindest people I've known, he has an enormous amount of integrity in how he deals with people. During my first year @ COL, he took the time to sit with me and map out my career path both in the company and long-term. This shows that not only is he a great leader with superior Marketing knowledge, he also cares for each of his employees. I would welcome the opportunity to work for or with David again.
Source: LinkedIn Janelle Laguette-Skei Jul 17, 2013After 20 years in direct response, I didn't think there was anything else to learn. Then I worked with David. From print to broadcast, David's strategic, integrated approach was key to increasing lead acquisition and conversion rates at Citrix Online. I've since taken his "branded direct response" approach to other companies, which they've embraced wholeheartedly. I'm hoping David opens his own shop one day, so I can work with him again.
Source: LinkedIn Robert Tuffly Jul 17, 2013I look to David to keep me up to date on the world of online acquisition (from search to social media) and he never disappoints. He's always curious about how to improve, and takes to the latest trends with interest. However, his focus on impact never waivers, and his strategies directly translate to bottom line performance. In the end it's David's willingness to help others succeed coupled with his expertise that makes him a great person to have as a colleague.

SFSteve FanaleFractional Executive - CEO, CPO, COO • Sydney NSW AustraliaMy 25-year entrepreneurial journey was probably inspired by my first venture into entrepreneurship many years before. I developed my first “app” using COBOL to manage the payroll at my part-time bar job while at university. It was even sold on a monthly subscription, a concept ahead of its time. I put my tech entrepreneurial ambitions on hold for the next decade while pursuing my sports passion, playing professional rugby league for the Parramatta Eels and the Balmain Tigers. Then, in 2001, amidst the Dot Com Boom, I founded MassMedia Studios, a digital agency driven by the drive to create innovative products and SaaS platforms. Our standout creation was the Traction Platform, a pioneering marketing automation tool. We expanded Traction globally with offices in New York and London. Simultaneously, we launched 2and2, an e-learning company specialising in creative e-learning products. In 2007, I successfully sold MassMedia and Traction, businesses experiencing 30% YoY growth and boasting clients like Unilever, Audi, and Diageo. My involvement continued with 2and2 as a non-executive director, which has now evolved into Cogniss, a no-code ecosystem to develop consumer and patient-facing digital health solutions based in the UK poised for substantial growth. Before founding Drive Yello in 2014, I ventured into Feverpitch Entertainment, a content creation company, and AppVillage, a virtual mobile app incubator. Drive Yello rekindled my focus on B2B platforms, which has remained my central pursuit for the past ten years. At the heart of the Drive Yello business is the ‘Yello’ platform, the smartest logistics platform that connects retailers to independent couriers to streamline deliveries for millions of Australians nationwide. In 2023, I founded the 4You Innovation Group, which is focused on developing technology and services to enable retailers to meet the ever-increasing demand for convenience. In line with this mission, we acquired the Hey You business, an order-ahead application targeting restaurants and cafes. I recently stepped down from my CEO role but remain on the board as a fractional executive working with the management and product teams. With a history of innovative product development and industry disruption, I have successfully built my career on being passionate about solving business problems with technology, developing teams, creating innovative products and initiating change in diverse industries.
