David Salomon accompanied us in our attempt to develop a new market in the Emirates. He did so with great professionalism, attentiveness to our needs, and relevant working relationships. He organized intensive meetings with the political and business elite in the Emirates, in Dubai, Bahrain, and even with Saudi Arabia (via video calls). David provided us with relevant background information before the meetings, supported our key points, and offered guidance from a broad international perspective and experience. He was a useful member of the decision-making forum and a partner in outlining the penetration plan in stages, at the right pace, and with the appropriate partners.
