Will – Sales Manager @ Cloudflare

David is a self-starter with an unmatched drive to get better at the craft every day. He set a clear plan for success at the start of the year and followed through with consistent action, breaking into completely cold accounts and expanding key relationships with warm accounts. Any customer will tell you that David is an asset when it comes to their understanding and strategic utilization of Cloudflare. Not only did David succeed as a seller, but I was excited to witness his development into a leader on the team. He is constantly the first to speak up in team meetings, ask questions that others are thinking, and share strategic trends across the organization. As a manager, the characteristics David brings to the table are key to the growth of the holistic group. I felt lucky to manage David through a terrific year where he exceeded his revenue targets and was amongst the top reps within our organization.



Stephanie – Account Executive @ Cloudflare

David is a thoughtful and meticulous leader with an eye for detail. During our time working together, he always went above and beyond to share his knowledge and insight, to help myself and others on the team. David is a true student of his craft, you can always count on him to be well prepared and up to date on the latest industry trends.

After every interaction with David, you will walk away feeling heard, respected and valued. I would consider it a privilege to have the opportunity to work with him again.


Annabeth – Business Development @ Cloudflare

David is not only a top rate relationship manager but is a “connector of people”. He goes above and beyond to find creative solutions for his customers and his work ethic and methodology are qualities I hope to emulate. Working with him was an absolute pleasure and anyone who has the same opportunity should know they are in the best of hands.


Alan – Business Development @ Cloudflare

Working for David was a pivotal moment in my career. I truly enjoyed the experience of not only working for David but learning from him as well. David is a master of strategizing, communicating and collaborating with others for mutually successful outcomes.

He understands how to manage personalities and helps make everyone around him better. Several times, David took learnings from books and his mentors to help me improve. He provided feedback in a constructive way and took the extra time to show and teach me. I do not think there is enough room to express my gratitude for the experience of working for David. I truly appreciate the learning experience he provided me, the growth and him helping me see new perspectives enabled me to be successful.


Jenn – Account Manager @ TripSpark

I had the pleasure of working on the same sales team as David for two years at TripSpark. From my initial interview process, David naturally took on a mentorship role for me and always made time to help strategize and improve my sales approach. David’s sales approach was always focussed on the customer, which allowed him to build strong rapport quickly with those he interacted with. He was always well prepared for meetings and presentations, and was quick to share his material and best practices with all members of the team. David truly believed in a collaborative sales environment and his experience will be missed by the team.


Peter – Solutions Engineer @ TripSpark

David Kertesz is one of the best team members I have had the pleasure of working with. He is passionate about helping his customers succeed by focusing on solution fit and finding win-win scenarios, even where others might have thought no such opportunity exists.

He is a persistent and focused customer advocate who pushes the organization to improve and focus on what’s most important – the customer.


Alex – Account Executive @ TripSpark

David is one of those great teammates that takes time to be understanding and thorough in his work to help others succeed. He always provided mentorship and advice when I asked him for help and is someone who gets along well with others.


Mike – Sales Manager @ TouchBistro

David brought strong sales professionalism and knowledge to our team. I had the pleasure of working with Dave while he was a top performing Account Executive at TouchBistro when I oversaw Sales Operations. Not only was he a great culture fit and consistently delivering his sales number, he was a tremendous asset to me, personally, as an early adopter and champion of new process & technology for the sales team as a whole. I owe a lot to Dave and hope to work with him again in the future.


Wes – Business Development @ TouchBistro

One of the best things I did when I first joined TouchBistro was grab lunch with David K. Beyond a warm welcome to the team, David shared some valuable career insight and sales tips, helping me find my stride as a new rep.

So, David, a big thank you from all of us at TouchBistro, who have benefited from your mentoring/coaching initiatives.

For anyone seeking a mature and collaborative sales leader — who hits their number, and then goes out of their way to help their peers do the same — David has my highest recommendation.


Anthony – Account Executive @ TouchBistro

Working with David was great. He would always go above and beyond what was expected of him in his role. An out of the box thinker. A diligent, intelligent and motivated sales person.

David was fun to hang out with, and always thoughtful – asking about your weekend or recommending a good book. We would chat about work or leisure activities all the time, and his opinions or advice were always welcome!
