I had the distinct pleasure to have worked with Dave during his time with HomeServe USA and respect the expertise and professionalism Dave brought to the organization. Dave's leadership was evident in everything he did and every challenge he took on — which were many. It was great to have had the chance to work alongside of him.

David helped us tremendously to sharpen our positioning in a strategic direction. He advised us on the challenges CIOs are confronted with in their daily jobs and how to position our solution to reduce risks and add value. He guided us to change our offering to bring more value to our customers. He was great to work with and I would take him into my team anytime.

Dave has everything you want in a CIO — vision, leadership, knowledge, flexibility, and a great mind for business. He's always on top of the latest technologies and most efficient processes. A strong team builder, Dave's staff are always motivated and loyal. He's a great guy and a pleasure to work with.

David Berry arrived at Daymon after a rapid succession of three previous CIOs and what had been a very difficult time for the IT department. Within days it was obvious that David was immensely experienced and capable, and his leadership calmed the entire department. He subsequently led IT groups in disparate locations around the globe through major reorganization and downsizing under incredibly challenging pressures. I can think of no one better to lead absolutely any team of IT professionals.

David is always on target and ready to listen.

I have been very lucky to have the pleasure of working with Dave Berry. His business acumen and technical understanding has led to many elegant solutions for TOMS. Dave has steered TOMS onto the correct technology course and has brought an invaluable level of knowledge to the company. On a side note I would be happy to call Dave a friend — very personable and fun to be around.

I had the pleasure of working with Dave at Coty for over ten years. As CIO, Dave transformed the company's IT infrastructure from a collection of disparate systems to a worldwide integrated SAP platform — spanning commercial, supply chain and finance. Dave is very proactive in identifying cost-effective solutions for the business, providing a real competitive advantage. His managerial skills, coupled with his technical knowledge, are major contributing factors in his organisation's ability to provide world-class service. A consummate professional — I would welcome the opportunity to work together again.

David is a results-oriented executive and has transformed the Coty information systems infrastructure — a first class professional and team player.

David is one of the most energetic, inspirational leaders I have known. He makes fact-based decisions, thinks long-term yet knows when to move quickly. He has broad experience across industries and knows how to take risks and manage to success.

David Berry is an individual of extraordinary vision, professionalism, and management skill. I had the good fortune of working with David during a global deployment where the entire IT infrastructure was transformed. Dave was intimately involved in all aspects of the project — providing the team flexibility to overcome challenges, while supplying the oversight, mentoring, and guidance necessary to ensure successful completion. It was a pleasure and I look forward to working together again.

David was my primary customer at Coty. He was excellent to work with because he possessed a driving vision for how IT could elevate Coty to the next level. His work to integrate Unilever Cosmetics into Coty through the use of SOA was an amazing achievement in the short time frame provided — covered prominently in industry publications. His leadership and continued focus on long-term ROI will benefit Coty worldwide well into the future.
