"David was a valued member of our IT organization for over 5 years and was appreciated and respected by all staff. He started as Desktop support contractor and gradually promoted to IT managerial and leadership positions, including interim head of IT and managing 5 team members globally. David also helped mentor some junior IT staff, sharing his knowledge and expertise.

David was instrumental at forming many of the organizations’ enterprise IT practices and establishing various IT infrastructure. As the senior IT person in the NYC office, David was always quick to resolve issues and provide exceptional care to our staff. His passion, dedication and attention to details helped the company execute multiple complex internal and customer facing activities."

Name redacted: Chief Operating Officer

"David and I worked together for more than four years at *redacted*, both as support for general office technology needs but also served as the marketing team's primary technology support for our customer and partner conferences. He was instrumental in the set-up in 2016 of our first major event in New York of over 300 people, where he personally hardwired 15 tech booths and worked to ensure that we had the appropriate bandwidth and security for the conference to be a success. The annual event eventually grew to over 800 people in 2019, and each time he was a critical player in our conversations with the venue to ensure that all of our technology needs were met. Most recently we had two virtual events and again David served as a critical player; his counsel and attention to detail was invaluable.

David is a hard working individual who knows how to get the job done quickly and efficiently. He would be a valuable asset to your team. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me."

Frank Demeri: IT Manager

"David's commitment to excellent service in a customer-centric fashion is impeccable. I am honored to have collaborated with him remotely and to have worked side by side with David for over two years. He has been a crucial element to the team and has added value to my experience with New Century as well.

David has shown a keen technical aptitude and strong analytical abilities while trouble shooting complex issues in many high pressure situations. He is quick to gain customer confidence and rapport while providing consistent and quality results. He is a good-natured individual, trust-worthy and reliable. Goal driven and dedicated, with a strong work ethic, David would be a significant and positive impact with any team.

My personal experience with David as fellow tech and as a report has shown that he constantly exceeds expectations, can take on increasingly difficult assignments (and will even volunteer for them) to work on alone and knows when to ask for help. He works well with managing his own time and has proven to be as productive working independently as with a team. Furthermore, I would recommend David Wandt for a position at any level he is confident applying"

David will be a valuable asset to any company.
