Re: David Beardsley
To whom it may concern:
I worked with Dave for several years at Microsoft in the PC Hardware and Surface Business
units. Wanted to take an opportunity to put together a few thoughts for you regarding Dave
and what I have seen him do.
1. Dave has world class CAD surfacing skills and has regularly solved the hardest surfacing
challenges in our group. Perhaps as important is his ability to coach others in learning
these skills.
2. Dave built up several different teams and was effective and respected leader. He has a
great way with people which shows in the effective partnerships he created and the
efficacy of his teams.
3. Dave is good at prioritizing tasks and communication and finding the things that
maximize leverage. For example, he would continually find things that he and his team
could do to make things more efficient often finding solutions to problems without
prompting.
If you are interested in talking more I would be available.
Cheers.
