David Business Development Director

David

Business Development Director

David joined the Exploding Phone team in January 2017 having previously held a number of sales and marketing roles helping IT companies work with the Higher Education community. His approach to sales is very simple: happy customers are the best sales people which he regards as his USP (Unique Selling Point). Sadly David’s days of coding are long gone but he did build his first (and last) web site in the mid-90s and has a degree in Electronic Engineering, so he knows just enough to be dangerous.

When not grinding the wheels of commerce David enjoys going to the gym and drinking wine (not usually at the same time), getting out on his motorcycle and spending time with his family and their two Hungarian Vizslas.
