David’s experience includes managing the complexities of information technology (IT) and telecommunication outsourcing agreements, business process outsourcing arrangements (with an emphasis on HR and finance and accounting (F&A) outsourcing), distribution relationships, licensing arrangements, and joint ventures, strategic alliances and teaming relationship. He also assists clients in turning unprofitable, troubled relationships into profitable, referable accounts by guiding the client through the process of identifying, developing and successfully implementing turnaround solutions.

Although David’s primary emphasis is on working with technology businesses, clients in a wide range of other sectors look to him for guidance. He has handled billions of dollars of outsourcing and other arrangements for leading providers. He represents large multinational retailers, manufacturers, airlines and other service companies in their contractual relationships with technology and business process services providers. David similarly advised a Big Four accounting firm in the structuring of a global delivery model for a new outsourcing services offering.
