I have worked with David for around 6 months and found him to be a friendly person and with just the right amount of gravitas. Although we have not worked together on too many projects, when we have we have collaborated well and he has listened attentively to the issues within my area, picking up the key parts and asking sensible questions.
Javid Ghani - Head of Global Sales
I have worked with David for around 6 months and found him to be an inquisitive person, friendly with just the right amount of authority to get his message across. We have worked on a variety of data analysis and projects together including the analysis of Commissions being paid to our vendors and ensuring that we have a new scheme in place which saves the company money.
I would recommend David for his insight, commercial knowledge, business partnering skills and general ability to work to deadlines
Ina Negoita - COO
I worked with David for 3 years and during this time he displayed extreme professionalism and was very efficient in all his roles and responsibilities. He was also one of the first to arrive daily at the office and usually one of the last to leave and it was always pleasant to have a friendly chat with him.
More importantly from a work point of view he never failed to deal with any financial issue and I was always 100% confident that every task he was given would be completed on time. He's not just a great finance professional he's also a great person to know
Peter Mardon - Director Business Development EMEA
I had an opportunity to work with David when he was Group Head of Financial Planning and Analysis in LycaTel Services. We worked on putting the short-term forecast and 2 year financial budget for the mobile group Initially with the aim of rolling the budget out to the rest of the subsidiaries within the Lycatel Group. Although David did not have previous telecom experience of how MVNO's operate he developed the knowledge of key drivers and sensitivities around the MVNO business. He was able to clearly explain the support for the numbers, provide the areas for cost saving program as well build sensitivities around pricing and its impact on revenue. In addition, he has a great sense of humor and wonderful person to work with.
Jo Nieckarz - FD LycaTel
I worked with David at Lycatel and he was one of the most professional people there. He has a very commercial outlook and is able to separate the real information from the data and make sound business recommendations. In addition to having good commercial judgement, he's also great to work with. Open, friendly and always happy to help. I'd recommend him to any company.

EFM go out of their way to really get to know and understand the business so it’s not just numbers – they can and have offered proactive advice.
Working with EFM has benefited our business immeasurably. I wouldn’t classify myself as being a numbers person. I’m proficient and I understand numbers but to me it’s a sanity check every month which is great. It gives me confidence, and gives my board confidence, that the numbers are correct. I’ve used freelancers in the past and EFM compare really well.
