strategic planning, competitive assessment, market positioning, business

David when I operated 2HD distributors, which marketed the early NanoMask,
and was impressed with his enthusiasm and marketing knowledge. David has a
valuable knowledge of our product and our target market, which he gained
from his previous tenure with our company."
