Customer Reviews

Rachelle Young, former Program Director The Next Web

David is a great speaker for two reasons. First, he shows that everyone, always and everywhere, should be able to pitch—not just salespeople, but really anyone who regularly attends meetings or wants to achieve something. Then he shows you how to do it. In a powerful and inspiring way. Which makes the audience believe: I get it now, I can do it now, I’m going to do this.

Hans Janssen, Founder DenkProducties

David is quite simply the Pitch-Maestro. We've worked with him on a wide variety of events, all of which involve culturally diverse audiences from dozens of countries. He always delivers beyond expectation.
