TESTIMONIALS
" Working with Dave has been a truly rewarding experience, providing me with many valuable lessons both professionally and personally. He has especially helped me with focus-related aspects that, although they seemed obvious, were outside my perception. Mentally, he has greatly helped me gain the visualization and clarity I needed at the time in a clear and objective way. He is a highly professional and trustworthy person who inspires confidence, an excellent leader with outstanding communication skills, and someone who delivers feedback in a constructive manner. I highly recommend him with deep appreciation."
"David was my manager for over a year. He was very attentive and focused on the human aspect! I felt heard and supported throughout. It was truly a pleasure to be under his management. He even supported me throughout the entire process for my new job, giving me plenty of advice. I’m very grateful to him."
"J’ai eu la chance de travailler avec David pendant un an et demi chez Ankorstore, où il était mon manager au sein du service client. C’est un leader à l’écoute, bienveillant, toujours prêt à partager les bons conseils au bon moment.
Grâce à son accompagnement, j’ai pu progresser, développer de nouvelles compétences et évoluer vers un poste d’Account Executive. Son soutien a été déterminant dans mon parcours.
Aujourd’hui, David met son expérience et son sens de l’humain au service d’un nouveau projet : aider les personnes à s’installer en France. Connaissant son professionnalisme et sa capacité à accompagner les autres avec clarté et générosité, je ne peux que recommander son travail les yeux fermés.
Merci encore David pour ton impact et ta confiance !"
"He trabajado con David dos años en Ankorstore (2022-2024) en los que él ha ocupado el rol de team leader. Su trabajo durante estos dos años fue muy inspirador. Una persona extremadamente empática y con unas altas dosis de asertividad, algo fundamental en la gestión de personas dentro de un equipo. Combina perfectamente un alto sentido de la responsabilidad con un muy adecuado sentido del humor, que permite al equipo a su alrededor desarrollarse sin presiones pero enfocado en las soluciones."
"Dave knows about people. He picks up on details, body language, and rarely needs to ask questions to anyone other than himself. His "holmsian" scrutiny, strong empathy and interest in others make him a great manager, coach and mentor. I am glad to have had him as a manager and grateful to have met him as a person, as he has helped me grow and is committed to getting people where they want to get."
Dave’s approach is both structured and personalized. He asks insightful questions, offers tailored exercises, and creates a space where you can explore everything from limiting beliefs to practical priorities. He helped me shift from a mindset of constant overwhelm and pressure to one of intention and choice. He also guided me in identifying what was working well, and in learning to ask for and accept help.
We worked through recurring challenges, from cultural adaptation and language barriers to emotional overwhelm and redefining my routines. Dave reminded me that relocation isn’t something to “master” overnight—it’s a process, and it’s okay to take it one step at a time.
Thanks to our sessions, I was able to find clarity, feel more confident, and better manage what was in my control while letting go of what wasn’t.
Dave’s coaching was an anchor during a time of big change, and I truly recommend him to anyone navigating a relocation or life transition."
"I had the privilege of working under David's leadership during my time at Ankorstore, and I can confidently say he is one of the most outstanding team leads I have ever worked with. David was consistently supportive, approachable, and patient. He fostered a positive and collaborative work environment where I always felt comfortable voicing concerns and seeking guidance. His ability to listen attentively and offer thoughtful, constructive feedback played a vital role in my professional growth. David genuinely cares about the success and well-being of his team and consistently goes the extra mile to support them. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to have worked with him and wholeheartedly recommend him 😊"
"I worked as David's peer and then a slightly more distant stakeholder during our mutual time at Ankorstore, but "the legend of Dave" followed him even from beyond that as we shared multiple colleagues across our careers. There were essentially three things that prevailed in all of the "legendary" testimonials: how great, how easy to get along with and how deeply insightful he is. I couldn't agree more. David has this rare ability of maintaining a strong grasp at reality and being very down to Earth while at the same time being an inspiration and an incredible motivation to those around him, pushing them for greatness. It also struck me how seamless it was for him to manage across cultures and across generations, getting the best out of each and every single one of his team members and at the same time staying his uncompromising and strong self, very real, yet accommodating and supportive. He is a delightful discussion partner, who will stimulate the most brilliant ideas to come to the surface by asking insightful and not necessarily easy and comfortable questions.
If I was to wrap him up in just one short sentence: David brings an enormous value to everything he does."
"I had the pleasure working with Dave at Ankorstore. He was my team lead and at the same time my coach. He’s an exceptional communicator with a knack for helping people reaching their full potential. Dave helped me on my journey at Ankorstore, but also with my personal growth and developing grit. I recommend Dave to anyone who wants to maximize their growth, both professionally and personally!"
