“I have always found David to be interesting in the way he thinks about a problem and develops a solution for it. He is certainly one of the most intelligent people, if not the most intelligent person, in the room. But to his credit, he’d never tell you that. If you get the wonderful opportunity to work with him, do it.”

“I worked with David for many years, both as an employee and a consultant. His management style allows the people he works with to really grow and take ownership of their areas of responsibility. When I heard that David had launched his own business, I was thrilled to benefit again from his expertise. I had recently launched the publishing arm of my own business, and I knew that hiring David to conduct a thorough audit of our website was a critical step to ensuring that the publishing services we offer are clear and up to industry standards. David’s recommendations were thorough and his explanations and examples extremely helpful. As we work to implement them, I know that we’ll be seeking David’s expertise again as we work to grow our operation.”

“I have known David Beacom for many years, both in his role at NSTA and as a Board member of the Association of Educational Publishers. David is a true professional in every setting. His blend of knowledge and experience–in publishing, nonprofits, and business at large–has been of great value to me. He is an excellent blend of polish and directness. Whether the situation was a new product idea, a shift in strategy, or a budget crisis, David synthesized facts and rendered a clear opinion and direction. I look forward to working more with him in the future.”

“It was a true privilege to work with David while he was a Board member of the Association of Educational Publishers. He always greeted me with a smile and listened intently. We traveled on business several times, including seeing David operate at the Frankfurt Book Fair. It would be hard to find a better example of class and leadership in a business professional.”
