Sounds like "Former Onelinker" is a bit mad that he didnt get the position. All senior executives will have as many negative comments as positive ones. And if they don't have a bit of ego no one will respect them. I can tell you from experience that David does have an amazing ability to build teams as well as chart a vision and course for a company. In the 2 years that I worked with David I remember him playing golf once. This guy is a quality executive, period.
