TESTIMONIALS
I knew David by reputation around the Automotive industry and was thrilled to have him agree to advise Square Root. David's understanding of not only the automotive digital landscape, but also the influencers and their motivations was invaluable to our growth strategy. Most impactful for me, David is one of the best human beings I've worked with and am proud to call him a friend. His counsel guided me and kept me sane through the ups and downs of entrepreneurship and an acquisition.
David was one of my first professional contacts in the automotive space after we pivoted from fashion. Upon meeting David, it became immediately evident that he had a network in the sector that was second to none & a true desire to help. We worked with David in an advisory capacity for 4 years before appointing him to our Board of Directors. He has consistently gone above and beyond to help with sales referrals, talent acquisition, investor introductions, product/marketing strategy, and more. I give David my highest recommendation.
David has been a strategic advisor to several companies that Portico has advised, leading up to and during M&A and capital raising transactions. His unique experience in the automotive technology industry from multiple perspectives (entrepreneur with a track record of high growth, successful M&A, advising Boards and management teams on operational excellence) and relationships have added tremendous value to the companies he has led and advised. We are grateful for being able to work alongside David and will continue to recommend him highly to companies and investors seeking to accelerate growth and drive successful outcomes!
David and I have known each other for 10+ years. I was on his board at HookLogic, where he led the AutoHook business to a great outcome. Afterwards, we started to look at companies and investing together. It’s been great having him on the board of SpinCar/Impel – his relationships and knowledge in the auto ecosystem are unmatched. He’s also worked with a few other Wavecrest companies. David is a long-term partner to the Wavecrest family.
