Consequently, his connection with Cybage began, and over time, this association evolved into a trusted global partnership, leading to Cybage being named HighJump's (now Körber) "Global SI Partner of the World." David played a pivotal role in the phenomenal growth of the Cybage - HighJump (now Körber) partnership as it flourished in the US, Asia, and Europe regions.
David spearheaded the acquisition of Otimis in Brazil, a strategic maneuver that proved immensely successful, showcasing yet another illustration of his enduring and profound global connections.
