David has a unique perspective and an enthusiasm for problem solving and takes ownership of setting clients up for success.

Prior to joining Gotham Cloud, David spent his career in technology and technology-related sales roles. Leaving school at the height of the recession presented a unique set of challenges for career paths. Having been torn between sciences and business, David found himself gravitating towards sales. He joined a start-up company where he was responsible for revenue generation. He was able to get his company featured on a morning news show and from there he was fully engaged in sales and business development.

David went on to join a Xerox subsidiary in New York City and sold copiers to enterprise customers. This was at a time when some areas of Manhattan had been flooded by Hurricane Sandy and many offices were empty. David had to face a unique set of challenges in order to produce results. He discovered he could express his creative side in the business world by developing clever ways to get people to take a fresh look at a commoditized piece of technology.

Over the years, David developed a comprehensive view of technology. Having found success, but not fulfillment, in selling hardware, software, and services, David ended up taking a Director role at an e-waste recycling company based in Queens. He worked on projects with major companies across the manufacturing, software, and financial verticals. He worked with artists who gave e-waste a new purpose, and he worked with a non-profit agency to use e-waste in clever ways as part of an event. He also worked with school systems to set up community recycling days.

David joined Gotham Cloud as a Strategic Account Manager and in this capacity, David works with enterprise companies and their IT leaders to give them more control, insight, and visibility in managing their IT infrastructure.
