From Tom Gill, Chief Operating Officer (COO), Seon Design Inc
I have known David Black for over 15 years and have worked with him at four (4) different companies, specifically as the Principal Engineer at Silent Witness Enterprises and Honeywell Video Systems, at Signalink as a Consultant Engineer, and most recently, as Director of Technology for Seon Design Inc.
 
In the years that I have worked with David, at all times I have found him to be trustworthy, dependable, hard-working, and conscientious. He has been consulting in the field of technology development for 30 years, and holds vast understanding in business development and strategic marketing. David thinks outside of the box for solutions and is highly innovative because of this.
 
David thrives in technology, and recognizes business issues and the importance of time to market (TTM). From start to finish, he is accomplished in taking on the development from the visionary and strategic perspective through architecture, design, implementation, and rollout. His wide breadth of knowledge in engineering ranges from, but is not limited to, the fields of software and electronics, to firmware and mechanical. David distinctively combines his knowledge in strategic marketing, business development, technological expansion, and engineering; because of this, David is uniquely positioned to make a connection between customers, the engineering sector, and executive management. He is therefore successful at engaging customers in all aspects: for requirements, sales support, or problem solving and analysis.
 
David would be a remarkable asset at any company and has my uppermost recommendation. I am pleased to provide further information if required.
