We had the pleasure to work with David on two occasions. The first one was immediately after we re-structured our operation at Thales South Africa, bringing on board a brand new Management Team. David has easily adapted to, and work with, the different cultures in the Team. He brought a new Leadership Team together and generated a level of teaming and team spirit in a short space of time. He was able to facilitate a process of alignment with the new country strategy following the merger of our operations. The second one was at the launch of a new major project which involved multiple entities within the group coming from 3 different countries. He was able to bring a very diverse group together that consisted of South Africans, Portuguese and Germans and get them on task quickly. He facilitated the creation of a project charter that the team felt proud of and that represented what they wanted to achieve together and how they would achieve it. Patrick Oszczeda
